[Intro]GGG[Verse 1]GD
This guitar, if it could sing,
G
it voice the dreams of you and me,
D
Of why we live, of why we love,
G
and of what truly makes us, us
[Chorus]GD
Other guitars just play our songs
G
other guitars just hum along,
D
but this guitar it crys and sings,
G
hear its voice and hear it ring
GDG
[Verse 2]GD
This guitar it has a voice,
G
it wants to sing of its own choice
D
away from you and away from me
G
to sing free is what it wants to be
[Outro]GAm
This guitar, this guitar,
DG
this guitar.
