A E D A Once there was a time I'd rob my mama for a good meal and a smoke Once there was a time I'd sell my brother for a dollar when I was broke But I'd never sell my guitar and my strings were always sharp 'Cause if I don't have a guitar I'll be strumming on some angel’s harp And if I don't get to Heaven and I go down there below Better be a guitar when I get there or I will refuse to go Instrumental break played over C-----G-----G-A-A-A(3x)

                    Once there was a time I was hungry        And I'd find my food in some bin
