Intro: G Am D G x2
                     G
Well we talked about old times 

                Am
Like a couple of old guys 

D                                                  G
And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond 

G                             Am
And along came O'Brien with a guitar in his hand 

D                                   G
Met us on the field with impeccable timing 

       D                            G
He said "I got a new song to show ya 

           D                                G
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind" 

C
And the thing about O'Brien was 

        D                                      Am    C  Em
He could always make a string buzz like it was still 19 89 

      D
And I remembered that old car 

        C                      G
And that old girlfriend of mine 

G
It was a cracked wooden thing 

        Am
He said "Wanna talk about old strings? 

              D                                   G
"It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine" 
And it said Sears down the neck
            Am
Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret 

        D                              G
But you know it still keeps impeccable time 

            D                          G
And he said "I got a brand new song to show ya 

          D                              G
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind" 

        C                      
And the thing about O'Brien was                 (Repeat)

        D
He could always make that string buzz 

            Am    C    Em
Like it was still 19 89 

      D
And I remembered that old car 

        C                      G
And that old girlfriend of mine 

           D                                    G
And that's the story of how O'Brien blew my mind
