Electric Lead: Derrick Vaters
Acoustic: Jim Mercer & Derrick Vaters
Piano: Junior Reid

I play it in the key of G Capo 2nd fret

{G} The first day I saw him, I'll never {D} forget,

Downtown on the sidewalk, is where we first {G} met,

On a small wooden stand, by the old timer's {C} bar,

He was singing a {G} song, strumming {D} along,

On an old flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

{G} His tall weary frame, showed long years of {D} neglect,

And his pride had been buried, beside his {G} respect,

Recalling the day pushed his memory too {C} far,

But when all's said and {G} done, he was second to {D} none,

On that old flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

Music:

{G} On warm summer's evening, when hours were {D} mine,

I'd be down there with him, from seven till {G} nine.

A boy of twelve years, dreaming of being a {C} star,

So he taught me to {G} play, in his own special {D} way,

On that old flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

{G} We grew as close as father and {D} son,

Yet we knew that the time, for the parting would {G} come,

Then came the night, he was not by the {C} bar,

I felt so a{G}lone, that I cried going {D}home,

For him and that old flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

Music:

{G} My mother was standing, by our garden {D} gate,

Pointing to a car, leaving dust in it's {G} wake,

Your friend came by she said in that old {C} car,

And he left on the {G} lawn, what you wanted so {D} long,

An old flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

{G} The years have gone by, and I'm up with the {D} greats,

I traveled all over, the United {G} States,

And I've searched every crowd, with no luck so {C} far,

Wonder where could he {G} be, and does he sees {D} me.

Playing that old, flat top Gibson {G} guitar.

Key of D

{D}With hands that shook, from side effects of {A} whiskey,

He phrased his words and wrote them, in a {D} song,

So she might hear it played, on every {A} jukebox,

The truth he tried to tell her, for {D} so long.

{D} She believed, the lies that someone {A} told her,

And left him with, his back against the {D} wall,

To face an empty room, with each {A} tomorrow,

With just her memory left, to ease the {D} fall.

Chorus:

He {G} couldn't live alone with just a {D} memory,

But he {A} never tried to find, somebody {D} new,

He said if {G} God had wanted me to love {D} another,

Then I {A} wouldn't feel, the hurt, the way I {D} do.

{D}So one day she heard that song, on the {A}jukebox,

And went back home not caring, for the {D} past,

But much time had passed for the love,

he always {A}wanted,

And then she saw the wreath, upon his {D} door.

Chorus:
