"Play, Guitar Play"
Performed by Conway Twitty
I don't know who wrote it, when, or which album it is from.
(Capo up as needed, 3d fret?... Moderate, wistful tempo, kind of a
"clang dangy clang dangy clang dangy clang dangy... beat. The
underlined parts serve as the reprise/chorus - same beat only more
intense... this guy feels BAD about what-the-heck-ever he did back
then... The last lines after the second reprise/chorus are kind of a
fade out, good place for a harmonica to add a lonesome flourish, string
out that last "meeeeeeee..." right up to "Guitar Play..." then end
quickly.)
[C]Play, guitar play.... Take me back.... to yes-terday...
let me see... cotton growin'... in the [G]fields....[Gm]
Let me [C]hear... my momma callin'... "Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'!
Down the road, he's comin' [G]home!".[F]... but they know i never [C]will.
[G]I left them livin' with that [F]awful thang i [C]done....
[G]I didn't tell them I just [F]packed my clothes and [G]run....[Gm]
[C]Play... Guitar play... Help me through... another day.
Help me make... another dollar... before I [G]go....[Gm]...
We got [C]time... for one more song... then we'll have... to move along...
another town... another [G]crowd...[F] Lord I wonder if they [C]know...
[G]Can they read between the [F]lines in my [C]songs...
[G]as i sing about a [F]good boy, that went [G]wrong...[Gm]
[F]Guitar we got years to [C]kill...
[F]Got to climb that distant [C]hill...
[F]I wonder if they think of [C]me............
Guitar play....
