Six Strings and a Scuffed-Up Neck

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Found it leaning in a pawn shop window

Six strings and a scuffed-up neck

Cost me every dollar in my pocket

I was broke but I was blessed

Never knew a piece of wood could hold me

Never knew a fret could set me free

Pre-Chorus

Mama said boy what you gonna do

I said listen close and I'll show you

Chorus

This guitar turned my whole life around

This guitar

Lifted me up off the ground

This guitar

Taught my two hands how to sing

This guitar

Gave this poor man everything

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

La-la-la

Oh-oh

Verse 2

Played it down on Beale till the morning

Played it till my fingers bled

Strangers dropped their change in my case

Said son you got soul instead

Some nights were hungry some were lonely

But that melody kept me warm

Pre-Chorus

Preacher told me son just hold on tight

I said listen close tonight

Chorus

This guitar turned my whole life around

This guitar

Lifted me up off the ground

This guitar

Taught my two hands how to sing

This guitar

Gave this poor man everything

Bridge

(Sing it now)

Strings of steel

Strings of gold

(Sing it now)

One old guitar

And a story to be told

(Sing it now)

Guitar Solo

Chorus

This guitar turned my whole life around

This guitar

Lifted me up off the ground

This guitar

Taught my two hands how to sing

This guitar

Gave this poor man everything

Outro

Gave this poor man everything

(Sing it now)

Everything

(Sing it now)

Mm-hmm
