Well he th[Em]rew one down from the t[G]op of the stairs
b[Am]eautiful women were sta[C]nding every[D]where
they a[Em]ll got wet when he sma[G]shed that thing
but o[Am]ff in the dark you could h[D]ear somebody s[G]ing
oh it br[Am]eaks my heart to [Em]see those stars
sm[G]ashing a pe[C]rfectly g[D]ood guit[G]ar
i do[Am]n't know who they th[Em]ink they are
sm[D]ashing a per[G]fectly go[C]od gui[Em]tar
[Em] [D] [Em]
[Em] [D] [Em]
it st[Em]arted back [G]in 1963
h[Am]is momma wouldn't buy him t[C]hat new red[D] harmony
he se[Em]ttled for a s[G]unburst with a crack
but h[Am]e's still trying to break [D]his momma's b[G]ack.
chorus
oh it br[Am]eaks my heart to [Em]see those stars
sm[G]ashing a pe[C]rfectly g[D]ood guit[Em]ar

smashing a p[G]erfectly [C]good g[D]uitar

whist[Am]ling every note he[D] used to [G]play
