It started back in 1963
His momma wouldn't buy him that new red harmony
He settled for a sunburst with a crack
But he's still trying to break his momma's back.
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
Whistling every note he ever played
- same chords as chorus There out to be a law with no bail
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance for early parole
You don't get out till you get some soul
Late at night the end of the road
He wishes he still had the old guitar to hold
He'd rock it like a baby in his arms
Never let it come ot any harm
(Hold the final D on "good" for 4 measures) There are at least 4 guitars on the recording (possibly as many as 6).
However, the 3 main ones are an acoustic (John strumming the chords), the lead
guitar (Michael) and another electric (an overdub). The lead guitar plays the
intro and solo as shown below, plays nothing during the verses, and power chords
during the chorus.
