Perfectly Good Guitar John Hiatt
Verse He [Em] threw one down from the [G] top of the stairs
[Am] beautiful women were [C] standing every [D] where
They [Em] all got wet when he [G] smashed that thing
but [Am] off in the dark you could [D] hear somebody [G] sing
Chorus:
Oh it [Am] breaks my heart to [Em] see those stars
[G] smashing a [C] perfectly [D] good guit [Em] ar
I [Am] don't know who they [Em] think they [D] are
[G] smashing a [C] perfectly [D] good guit [Em] ar [D] [Em] [D] [Em]
Verse
It started back in 1963
His momma wouldn't buy him that new red Harmony
He settled for a Sunburst with a crack
Now he's still tryin' to break his momma's back
Verse
He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
But every good thing comes to an end
Now he just sits in his room all day
Whistlin' every note he ever played
Verse
There oughta be a law with no bail
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance of early parole
Ya don't get out until you get some soul
Verse
Late at night the end of the road
He wishes he still had that old guitar to hold
He'd rock it like a baby in this arms
Never let it come to any harm
