Misc Originals – Charlie Hueber - Dusty Bar (Guitar)

C                       G
I'm an old man sitting here,

Am     C/B    C
playing my guitar,

C                       G
Dreaming 'bout the big time

Am     C/B    C
in this dusty old bar,

C                 G
Watching people smile

Am     C/B    C
as I pick a tune,

C                  G
Some days I can't tell

Am     C/B    C
if it's midnight or noon.

C                       F
But the music keeps me going,

G                Am
it's my guiding star,

F                             C
With every strum and every chord,

Am      C/B    C
I'm never too far,

C                       F
From the dreams that I hold,

G                Am
the melodies I chase,

F                  C
In this dusty old bar,

Am      C/B    C
where time has no place.

C                       G
The strings on my guitar,

Am     C/B    C
they've seen better days,

C                       G
But they still sing with a passion,

Am     C/B    C
in every single phrase,

C                       G
And as I pluck those worn-out strings,

Am     C/B    C
memories unfold

C                       G
Taking me back to the days when

Am     C/B    C
I wasn’t so old

C                       F
But the music keeps me going,

G                Am
it's my guiding star,

F                             C
With every strum and every chord,

Am      C/B    C
I'm never too far,

C                       F
From the dreams that I hold,

G                Am
the melodies I chase,

F                  C
In this dusty old bar,

Am      C/B    C
where time has no place.

C                       G
The years have come and gone,

Am     C/B    C
but my spirit remains,

C                       G
I've played in countless bars,

Am     C/B    C
under neon-lit lanes,

C                       G
And though the big time

Am     C/B    C
may have eluded my sight,

C                       G
I'll keep on strumming,

Am     C/B    C
chasing dreams every night.

C                       G
So, here I sit, an old man

Am     C/B    C
with his guitar,

C                       G
Dreaming of the big time,

Am     C/B    C
neath the dimly lit stars,

C                       G
And as the night grows darker,

Am     C/B    C
I'll play a song

C                  G
In this dusty old bar,

Am     C/B    C
where my dreams live on.
