Topic: My Guitar Song

I jotted this down quickly last night before leaving for my gig, then finished it today and put it on my-space

My Guitar SongUndefined


[G]I prefer to [C]play my [G]guitar in the summer


And [G]inspiration [C]for my [G]songs come from the gutter






And I [Em]know I'm not [D]good


But I [C]try to be [G]kind


And I [Em]know while I [D]sing


I can [Am]hide [D]behind


My [G]guitar


[G]Winter's cold it gets [C]hard to [G]hold down the strings


When the [G]rain comes [C]down and it [G]kills the sound


Can't make it sing




Well I [Em]know I'm not [D]good


But I'm [C]not all that [G]bad


And the [Em]rain comes [D]down


I can [Am]make you [D]glad


With my [G]guitar





chorus




As I [Am]sing in the subway


And [D]pick out my tunes


You can [Am]sing along


And I'll [D]play just for you


With my [G]guitar




I'll [G]play you a song if you [C]pay me the [G]price of a coffee


[G]Words come easy but I'll [C]make you [G]pay for the pleasure


Well I [Em]know I'm not [D]good


But I've [C]got to [G]eat


[Em]Shirt on my [D]back


And [Am]shoes on my [D]feet


And my [G]guitar


repeat chorus

Re: My Guitar Song

In case you didn't get it, this is about a busker, actually it's about me singing in pubs and clubs, it's all masked and double meaninged...[no such word?]
