The Weight of My Guitar Dave Gunning
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C G Am G C G Am
[G]Picked up my gui[C]tar
I [G]passed it to the [Am]kid
He [G]said he found it [C]heavy
I [G]hadn't thought a[Am]bout it
He must have struck a [G]chord
[C]Somewhere in the back of my [F]mind
Maybe from another [G]time[F] [G]
But, knew when I was [C]young
And [G]set out along the [Am]road
The [G]songs came [C]fast
But the [G]rhymes were all [Am]wrong
The colour of it [G]darkened
Be[C]fore my [F]eyes
There's another world fell in[G]side
CHORUS:
Broken [Am]strings left be[C]hind
From [Am]stories where I [C]stood
Like wishes from a [G]falling star
And it [Am]cracked from those [C]aches
That I [Am]drove into the wood[C]
You'd never guess it [G]from afar
The weight of my[F]_ guitar
INTERLUDE: C G Am G C G Am
[G]Ghosts from the [C]past
Are [G]hiding in [Am]there
[G]Skeletons from [C]closets
In [G]need of re[Am]pair
Best kept [G]secrets
[C]Whispered in a [F]bar
Under the bridge of my gui[G]tar
Don't tell, she [C]said
Un[G]less you [Am]do
In a [G]song that [C]makes me
A [G]little less [Am]blue
I'm a sucker for a [G]punch-line
And [C]that's no [F]joke
And I watched her [G]go
CHORUS:
Broken [Am]strings left be[C]hind
From [Am]stories where I [C]stood
Like wishes from a [G]falling star
And it [Am]cracked from those [C]aches
That I [Am]drove into the wood[C]
You'd never guess it [G]from afar
The weight of my[F]_ guitar[G]
BRIDGE:
[F]Somewhere there's a [G]heart
It's [F]heavy as I [C]turn
I can [Am]feel it getting lighte[G]r
With the [F]beat of every stroke[C]
You'd never guess it [G]from afar
The weight of my[F]_ guitar
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
[C] [G] [Am] [G] [C] [G] [Am]
