Old Beat Up Guitar chords by Jerry Jeff Walker


Jerry Jeff Walker Chords

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
Repeat 2nd Verse
