Guitar In The Corner
View chords used in this chart
A
There's a guitar in the corner
E7
That used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
A
And I would sing along
It was a happy song about a girl
A7 D
Loving me like I loved her
A
But the strings no longer ring
E7 A
And things are not the way they were
E7
Now when I need a song
D
My mind goes back where I belong
B7
When I'm not there and the future is not clear
E7
And the past is just a smoke ring in the air
A
And that guitar in the corner
E7
Just waits there by the wall
Standing guard and thinking
A
A new song might come to call
And free us from this minor key
A7 D
That we both been living in
A
And we'll pick up where we left off
E7 A
And play some songs again
A
There's a guitar in the corner
E7
That used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
A
And I would sing along
