G
Well we talked about old times

Cm
Like a couple of old guys

D7                                         G       G/C  G
And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond

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

D7                                   G
Met us on the field with impeccable timing

Chorus:

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                                    G    /F#         Em
He could always make a string buzz like it was nineteen-eighty-nine

C
And I remembered that old car

D                          G
And that old girlfriend of mine

G G/C G It was a cracked wooden thing He said Wanna talk about old strings? It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine And it said Sears down the neck Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret But you know it still keeps impeccable time CHORUS

G             C             D               G
And thats the story of how O'brien blew my mind
