       D

1. Play, guitar, play, take me back to yesterday,

                                                         A       - A7

    let me see cotton growing in the fields.

                   D

    Let me hear my momma calling, look a yonder y'all who's coming,

                                                  A       - G                                       D

    down the road he's coming home,         but they know I never will.

 

A                                           G                     D

    I left them living with that awful thing I’d done

A                                       G                                   A    - A7

    I didn't tell them, I just packed my clothes and run.

 

       D

2. Play, guitar, play, help me through another day,

                                                                 A   - A7

    help me make another dollar before I go.

                  D

    We got time for one more song then we'll have to move along,

                                           A7     - G                                        D

    another town, another crowd,         Lord, I wonder if they know.

 

A                                              G                 D

    Can they read between the lines in my songs,

A                                 G                             A      

    as I sing about a good boy that went wrong ?

G                                       D    - G                                         D

    Guitar, we got years to kill,         got to climb that distant hill.

G                                         D

    I wonder if they think of me ? (Guitar, play !)
