Tony Joe White - The guitar dont lie

He s^Bmits all al^F#mone, pl^Bmaying his gui^F#mtar In the b^Bmack of a sm^F#mall caf^Bmé ^F#m No ^Bmone seems to h^F#mear so he cl^Bmoses his e^F#myes G D F#m Bm Bm x4 Just lets the music take him away

^GSinging songs of l^Dove,^G songs of broken h^F#earts He's w^Bmorn out his l^Euck and his l^Bmast pair of j^Eeans But you k^Bmeep going ^Eon when you're l^Bmiving on dr^Eeams G D F# Bm F#m Bm , F#m x2 You can feel it inside and the guitar don't lie

There's a l^Bmady he kn^F#mows, who ^Bmoften comes ^F#mby She's h^Bmeavily ^F#minto the bl^Bmues ^F#m She req^Bmuests the ^F#msame song^Bm every ^F#mnight G D F# Bm Bm x4 Says it reminds her of someone she knew

A tr^Gace of her perf^Dume^G floats across the r^F#oom ^BmOnce they were cl^Eose, sh^Bmared all their dr^Eeams But now ^Bmall that he f^Eeels is a ph^Bmysical th^Eing They grow sl^Gowly ap^Dart and the g^F#uitar don't l^Bmie ^F#m

Some n^Bmights it gets c^F#mold, it ^Bmmakes him aw^F#mare That t^Bmime is sl^F#mipping aw^Bmay ^{F#m Bm}If you look cl^F#mose at his d^Bmark curly h^F#mair G D F# Bm Bm x4 Under the lights there's traces of grey

But he kn^Gows what it's all ab^Dout,^G to feel down and ^F#out He's b^Bmeen there bef^Eore, h^Bme's seen it ^Eall And you l^Bmearn to surv^Eive with your ^Bmback to the w^Eall G D F# Bm F#m Bm , F#m x4 Bm It's a crazy old life and the guitar don't lie, oh no
