Mama, I guess you have stood and cursed the day I found that old guitar
G D F C G
When Uncle Harry died, the one we found in the boot of his old car
C Am G
I remember how my little fingers blistered when I tried to learn to play
C Am D G
I bet you never dreamed that old guitar would put me where I am today
G D F C G
Yes, it's been a lot of years, I guess it's been an interesting life
G D F C G
No, ma'am, I never found another woman that I wanted for a wife
C Am G
I guess the first time showed us that I wasn't the domesticated kind
C Am D G
But I don't blame her for getting tired of living from a suitcase all the time
G D F C G
Yes, I know sometimes it looks like I've just simply thrown my life away
G D F C G
I just always figured that if I hung on, I'd make it big someday
C Am G
I guess it takes a special breed to live this life and think the way I think
C Am D G
But you'll be glad to hear that any more I ain't near as bad to drink
G D F C G
How is Tommy doing with the business now that Daddy's passed away
G D F C G
I'm sure Daddy always knew that Tom would be the one to take his place
C Am G
And when he tried to lecture me, I'd sit and pick and sing and let him nag
C Am D G
But way down deep inside I think he always knew that hardware ain't my bag
G D F C G
We open Monday night in Bolton City for another two week stand
G D F C G
I wish there was some way that you and Tom could come and hear my band
C Am G
Wish I had the time to tell you 'bout the places that I've been, the things I saw
C Am D G
And I'll send the fifteen dollars soon as I get to the club and make a draw
G D F C
When you're hot, you're hot, uh, uh
G C Am G
I mean, uh, when what is, when you're hot, you're hot, yeah, okay
C Am D G
Alright
G D F C G
I got the dog and he's real mean
