Interview with my Guitar
An Original Song by Rodney Henson
[Intro]
D
Sittin' alone at the bar the other day
A
My guitar walks in and saddles up next to me
G
I look over and she says, "Hey"
D
I could tell she was a little out of tune
A
I said, "Hey" back in my usual way
G
We don't talk much outside our professional relationship
D
She says 'Hollywood, can I ask you a couple of questions?'
A
Never been asked that before by any guitar so I said, 'Sure, why not?'
G
She smiled as she quickly tuned herself to an open drop D
D
Could be a happy song or could be a sad song
A
I'm ready when you are, I said as she adjusted her G string
G
Guitar humor
D
And then she cleared her voice with an easy strum
[Verse 1]
D A
I've heard every record, I've heard every song
G D
I've heard every word you've ever played me on
D A
I've seen you light a fire with the wink of your eye
G D
I've seen you preach to the choir on high
D A
I've seen you cry out and break some laws
G D
I've seen you stand up and fight the cause
A G
But did you mean it, really mean it
D A
Were the words you sang, what you truly know
G
Are they real or just for show
A G
Did you mean it, really mean it
G D
Are they real or just for show
[Bridge]
D
I didn't know what to say
A G
She was my biggest fan, my biggest supporter
D
Without her I wouldn't be where I am today
A
Dear God, what can I say, what should I say
G
To her, to her
D
I cleared my voice with an easy finger roll
[Verse 2]
D A
I write every record, I write every song
G D
I sing every word I've ever played you on
D A
I preach real hard to the choir on high
G D
I light the fire with the wink of my eye
D A
I cry out loud and I break some laws
G D
I stand up and fight every cause
A G
But do I mean it, really mean it
D A
Are the words I sing out loud, what I truly know
G D
Do I sing what I know, or is it just a show
A G
Do I mean it, really mean it
D
Does it matter
[Verse 3]
D A
I don't know where my songs come from
G D
I hear the words and then I just strum along
D A
They come out easy and they come out hard
G D
Every word has meaning and every chord
D A
But my stories are real and my stories are true
G A
But the meaning of every word, yes the meaning
D
Well, that's all on you
[Bridge]
D A
You see the moment I sing my song for the first time
G
It's no longer mine, it now belongs to you
Em
My job is over
G A
The meaning of every word, yes the meaning
D
Well, that's all on you
