B/D# X64444X D/E X77777X D/C 8X7777X [Verse 1] |Em |Em |Em |Em | |D |D |D |D |
Down the Emdrain pipe cross the yard and through the fence I Drisked a whooping every time I Emwent 'Cause Cwhite boys weren't allowed On the Gcolored side of town But I was Amproud to call That old black man my Bfriend
He had a Empillow by the bed he used to pray on And a Dbeat up old guitar he let me Emplay on I knew Cwhere my fingers went From his Ggreasy fingerprints Yeah, he was Ampassing on What was handed down to B7him
[Chorus]
And it Csoaked up all the blood and sweat and Gteardrops And the Dbeers he missed in smokey little Embars And Csometimes that old man he comes a Glive in my hands I feel the Ambeating of his sad old broken Bheart CJust like there's a Dghost in this gui Emta-a-a-a-ar D/Ea-ar Ema-ar
A ghost in this |D |D |D |D | gui tar [Verse 2]
Well, the Emnight before he died he made me take it He Dsaid, "You play it now, 'cause I gotta Emgo" And I can Cfeel him in my fingers when I Gplay it 'Cause some Amtimes I'm in control And some Btimes I just sit B/D#back And let him Emgo D/Eoh Emoh
Sit back and let him guitar: |D |D |D |D | go ho! |Em |Em |Em |Em | |D |D |B |B |
And it Csoaked up all the blood and sweat and Gteardrops And the Dbeers he missed in smokey little Embars And Csometimes that old man he comes a Glive in my hands I feel the Ambeating of his sad old broken Bheart CJust like there's a Dghost in this gui Emta-a-a-a-ar D/Ea-ar Ema-ar A ghost in this gui Ctar D/C Take a Clisten to the Dghost in this
