about

The premise of this song was inspired by a story I once heard Ray LaMontagne tell... the rest is where that premise took me.

lyrics

D
I had this old guitar
G
I sold my house to buy it
A
Then we lived in the car
G D
With what could fit

I went to work that morning
With not a worry in my heart
And without a warning
She took it apart

Bm
That woman I call my wife
She took a kitchen knife
And she stabbed that ole guitar
Don't know where all the pieces are

So I sat there to think
Bout what she was trying to say
Had me stiffer drink
And I started to pray

When finally it came to me
Don't know what took me so long
She was saying that she loves me
Saying write another song

A Bm
The songs don't live in that old guitar
G A
You my darling are a shooting star
