YOU AND MY GUITAR

Words and Music by John Williamson
© 1986 EMUSIC PTY LTD

C     Am     C     Am


     C                           Am 
This guitar only sings the way I play it,

     C                             Am
It's part of me, just like another arm

   F                           G
It started out as a little ukulele,
  
     Am           G          C
When I was just a boy on the farm 


     C                         Am 
My fingers were too lazy for piano


    C                          Am
But I could hold a tune pretty good

      F                           G
And I couldn't sing a song with a trombone

     Am               G                  C
So I taught myself to play this piece of wood 


      Am                     F
But I know you are staying beside me

               G             C
True lovers we both feel the pain

        Am                        F
And I'd throw this old box on the fire

                G         C
Before I'd ever lose you again. 



Well you never did like this old guitar, did you darling?
'Cause the guitar takes your man away from you
One day I'll write a song for you darling,
That'll be the very best that I can do 

Will it be a song about a wild wind,
With thunderclap and flashes of blue
Or will it be a song about an angel?
It'll never be as beautiful as you 

This guitar only sings the way I play it,
It's part of me, just like another arm
It started out as a little ukulele,
When I was just a boy on the farm 

But now I am a man with a woman
The words I wanna say won't come through
No matter where this guitar's gonna take us
It'll never be as beautiful as you.
