    INTRO:
    D D/G D/E D/A
  • D D/G D/E D/A
     
    D
  • It was my first night in that roomin' house,
    D/G
    in the last room down the hall.
  • D/E
    I heard a hoarse voice, and an old guitar,
    D/A
  • comin' through the paper thin walls.
    D
    A crazy nonsense nursery rhyme,
  • D/G
    it did not mean a thing.
    D/E
  • But for the first of what was to be a thousand times,
    D/A
    this is what I heard him sing.
  •  
    CHORUS:
    D
  • Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar,
    D/G
    'till I find the "G."
  • D/E
    Drop it down to old "E" minor,
    D/A D D/A
  • 'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "D."
     
     
  • D D/G
    I had to lay there listening, it seemed he was in the room.
    D/E D/A
  • The stranger with the melodies, singin' there in the gloom.
    Bm F
    And he repeated it over and over again, such a soft and sinking sound.
  • Am Em
    It was kind of like a music box that was slowly windin' down.
    F Em
  • And he sang it, he hummed it, he whistled it, and he strummed it.
    G A A A7 A6
    He laughed it, and he cried it. He did anything but hide it.
  •  
    CHORUS:
    A D
  • Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar,
    D/G
    'till I find the "G."
  • D/E
    Drop it down to old "E" minor,
    D/A D D/A
  • 'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to me.
     
     
  • D D/G
    So I lay there in that lumpy bed, counted choruses instead of sheep,
    D/E D/A
  • 'till I banged on the wall and out I called, "Hey bub, I need some sleep."
    (D) (stop pattern, just base) (G)
    A sudden void of silence, then I heard that hoarse voice say,
  • (E) (A) D (resume pattern) D/A
    "It weren't so long ago, boy, they paid me to play.
    D D/G
  • So I said, "It's kind of late for music, sir. Two hours 'till it's daylight."
    D/E D/A
    He answered, "I need my music most in these dark hours of the night.
  • Bm F
    You see I've tried gettin' high on somethin', son; it only brings me down.
    Am Em
  • Stayin' dry don't work out better, boy, 'cause my eyes get wet and I drown.
    F Em
    Won't you please let me continue, and I'll be in your debt.
  • G A A A7 A6
    You see I'm not singin' to remember, son. I'm just singin' to forget.
     
  • CHORUS:
    A D
    Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar,
  • D/G
    'till I find the "G."
    D/E
  • Drop it down to old "E" minor,
    D/A D D(strum) D(strum) A
    'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to me.
  •  
     
    C G
  • That's when I said, if I'm supposed to listen to you, sir,
    C G
    one quick question, then.
  • F C A
    Why in the hell do you sing one song, over and over again?
     
  • (spoken) And this is what he said.
     
    D D D D/G
  • I gave her the music, son. She gave me the words.
    D/E D/A
    Together we'd write the kinds of songs the angels must have heard.
  • D D/G
    Of course, we'd fight like cats and dogs; life ain't no rosebud dream.
    D/E D/A
  • Still, where ever we'd go, everybody'd know, we were truly a team.
    D D/G
    I can't remember now if I'd done her wrong, or if she'd done wrong to me.
  • D/E D/A
    Still, all I know is when I let her go, it did not set me free.
    Bm
  • That's when I said, "You sound like what's-his-name."
    F
    He said, "That's who I am.
  • Am
    But you can't wrap a name around you boy,
    Em
  • 'cause it really don't mean a damn.
    F Em
    You see, a song don't have no meanin', when it don't have nothin' to say.
  • G A A A7 A6 A
    What she could do was magic, son. All I can do is play.
    D
  • He started singin' again, that's when I drifted off,
    D/G
    and maybe I'd dreamed what I'd heard,
  • D/E
    about the stranger with the melodies,
    D/A
  • who'd gone and lost the words.
     
    CHORUS:
  • D
    Hold that "D" chord on the old guitar,
    D/G
  • 'till I find the "G."
    D/E
    Drop it down to old "E" minor,
  • D/A D D(final)
    'till the "A" chord rolls back home around to "D."
