John Williamson - You And My Guitar Lyrics
This guitar only sings the way I play itIt's a part of me just like another armIt started out as a little ukuleleWhen I was just a boy on the farmMy fingers were too lazy for pianoBut I could hold a tune pretty goodAnd I couldn't sing a song with a tromboneSo I taught myself to play this piece of woodBut I know you are stayin' beside meTrue lovers, we both feel the painAnd I'd throw this old box on the fireBefore I'd ever lose you againWell you never did like this old guitar, did you darlin''Cause the guitar takes your man away from youMonday I'll write a song for you darlin'That'll be the very best that I can doWill it be a song about a wild windWill the thunder clap and flashes of blueOr will it be a song about an angelIt'll never be as beautiful as youBut I know you are stayin' beside meTrue lovers, we both feel the painAnd I'd throw this old box on the fireBefore I'd ever lose you againThis guitar only sings the way I play itIt's a part of me just like another armIt started out as a little ukuleleWhen I was just a boy on the farmBut now I am a man with a womanThe words I wanna sing won't come throughNo matter where this guitar's gonna take usIt'll never be as beautiful as you
