Perfectly Good Guitar
    
          Em                      G
Well He Threw One Down From The Top Of The Stair
    Am                   C            D
beautiful women were standing everywhere
              Em                        G
they all got wet when he smashed that thing
     Am                         D            G
but off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

     Am                Em
it breaks my heart to see those stars
  G           C        D     G
smashing a perfectly good guitar
    Am                 Em
i don't know who they think they are
   G           C      Am     D
smashing a perfectly good guitar

it started back in 1963
his mama wouldn't buy him that new red harmony
he settled for a sunburst with a crack
but hes still trying to break his mamas back

Chorus

how he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
but every good thing comes to an end
now he just sits in his room all day
whistling every note he ever played

Whistle Chorus

well there outta be a law with no bail
smash a guitar and you go to jail
with no chance for early parole
you dont get out until you get some soul

Chorus

late at night the end of the road
he wishes he still had that old guitar to hold
he'd rock it like a baby in his arms
never let it come to any harm

Chorus
