Guitar Shopping Lyrics & Tabs by David Wilcox
Guitar Shopping
guitar chords lyrics
There's a guitar here in the window
I'd like to play before it's sold.
It's such a classic, mint condition,
Great shape for one this old.
Now all these axes have their stories,
Of the gigs that they have seen
But when this one sold the first time
I was seventeen.
'Course back then I didn't want it
It was way too new for me.
I needed something old and righteous
With its own authority.
So the first guitar I ever bought
Was twice as old as me
'Cause its life was full of music,
So the first guitar I ever bought
Was twice as old as me
'Cause its life was full of music,
As I dreamed that mine might be.
And I played that thing a thousand nights
And traded it away
For something slightly newer
That was easier to play.
But now lately I buy new guitars
They're shiny as a hearse.
I still like the look of road wear,
But the roles have been reversed.
And now this thing is a classic
But I still don't need to buy.
Yeah, the old one's have their stories
But by now'
So do I.
