You And My Guitar Lyrics

You And My Guitar lyrics

This guitar only sings the way I play it

It's a part of me just like
another arm

It started out as a little ukulele

When I was just a
boy on the farm



My fingers were too lazy for piano

But I
could hold a tune pretty good

And I couldn't sing a song with a
trombone

So I taught myself to play this piece of wood



But I
know you are stayin' beside me

True lovers, we both feel the pain

And I'd throw this old box on the fire

Before I'd ever lose you
again



Well you never did like this old guitar, did you darlin'

'Cause the guitar takes your man away from you

Monday I'll write a
song for you darlin'

That'll be the very best that I can do



Will it be a song about a wild wind

Will the thunder clap and flashes
of blue

Or will it be a song about an angel

It'll never be as
beautiful as you



But I know you are stayin' beside me

True
lovers, we both feel the pain

And I'd throw this old box on the fire

Before I'd ever lose you again



This guitar only sings the way I
play it

It's a part of me just like another arm

It started out as a
little ukulele

When I was just a boy on the farm



But now I
am a man with a woman

The words I wanna sing won't come through

No
matter where this guitar's gonna take us

It'll never be as beautiful as
you
