Jerry Jeff Walker - Old Beat Up Guitar guitar chord

Old Beat Up Guitar

By Jerry Jeff Walker

(D)Well I found her in a (D7)pawn shop

Somewhere (G) up in Ohio (D)

Where I guess some rounder (Bm) came up short

And he (E7) had to let her go (A)

(D) Cost me ninety (D7) dollars

But its (G) worth much more by (D) far

Cause I've never had a (Bm) better friend

Than that (A) old beat up guitar (D)

Chorus:

(G) Didn't look like too (A) much(Ab slide-> A)

Just a (D) Roy Smeck Stage De(G)luxe

But a lady she never (D) fared as well

Who (A) travelled through so (D) much

(D) She travelled with me (D7) always

Through the (G) alleys and the (D) bars

Songs I sang and (Bm) friends I knew

Were (E7) part of that guitar (A)

At (D) nights she was my (D7) pillow

Restin' (G) underneath the (D) stars

Day and night I (Bm) stayed alive

With that (A) old beat up guitar(D)

Repeat Chorus

(D) She picked up the name of (D7)Angel

In an (G) old New Orleans (D) bar

Where a drunken poet (Bm) drew one on

The (E7) top of that (A) guitar

Ol' (D) Babe Stovall he (D7) marked her

************> Jerry Jeff plays it in the key of C major. These chords

are for the key of D major. So seeing as how they look pretty right for

that you could use this as a guide to transcribing it:

C D E F G A B

D E F# G A B C#

Example: where you see a "G" below, change it to a "F" and so on...

Scratched the (G) songs right from his heart (D)

Seems everyone there (Bm) used to scar

That (A) old beat up guitar (D)

Repeat Chorus

(D) Well a ramblin' man he has (D7) trouble

Hangin' (G) on to all that he owns (D)

And in those years (Bm) of travellin'

That gui(E7)tar fell by the (A) road

The (D) one night in New (D7) Mexico

I (G) stumbled into this (D) bar

The Angel lay there (Bm) smilin'

On that (A) old beat up guitar (D)

Repeat Chorus

(D) I took her from the (D7) wall

Ran my (G) hands across the (D) scars

Played again the (Bm) old songs

That were (E7) written on that gui(A)tar

(D) Friends I'd loved and (D7) lost

Many (G) nights inside of the (D) bar

Came back so clearly (Bm) singin'

On that (A) old beat up gui(D)tar

Repeat Chorus
