D                          G
He was selling an old gui- tar and I bought it

D                 G
I saw her smiling picture in his wallet

D                                   G
He said, "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte"

D                 G
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)

D                            G
She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine

D                                     G
They say time can heal but time can't heal everything

D                                   G
The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings

D                 G
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)
(Chorus 1)
G                           D
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok

G                   D
We're all gonna die someday

Em                          G
You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say

D                 G
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)
(Chorus-2)
G                                  D
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

G                               D
She's all I got left of selling everything I own

           Em                          G
There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end

A                                G                D
I left some songs in the guitar, sing 'em good my friend

(Do-do-do) Oh, yeah, (do-do-do, do-do-do)

D                            G/D
This old guitar and case has been in a million bars

       D                                          G/D
Been a fools disciple miss dance recitals and the birth of every child

D                      G/D
Honestly honesty never goes out of style, so sing the pain my friend

D                 G
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)

D                              G
So the world she's her as just desperate grey and old

D                            G
All I see is my true love my heart my life my soul

   D                                           G
At least for one more night, I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold

                            D                 G
So sing the truth my friend (Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)
(Chorus 1)
G                           D
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok

G                   D
We're all gonna die someday

Em                          G
You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say

(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)
(Chorus-2)
G                                  D
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

G                               D
She's all I got left of selling everything I own

           Em                          G
There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning of the end

A                                G                D
I left some songs in the guitar, sing 'em good my friend

D                          G
I'm gonna sing the pain a- way

D                             G
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then

D                        G          D      G
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

       G                                       D
Well I cried when I got in that truck so I put on my shades

       G                            D
Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade

            Em                          G
And for the first time in a long time I swear I think I prayed

D                          G
I'm gonna sing the pain a- way

D                             G
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then

D                        G          D
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

G/D          D
Yeah, my old friend -----
