AOnce there was a time I'd rob my Emama for a good Dmeal and a Asmoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother for a dollar when I was broke
But I'd never sell my guitar and my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar I'll be strumming on some angel’s harp
And if I don't get to Heaven and I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there or I will refuse to go
Instrumental break played over D-C-A(3x)
