You And My Guitar

This guitar only sings the way I play it,

It's 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 staying 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 darling?

'Cause the guitar takes your man away from you

One day I'll write a song for you darling,

That'll be the very best that I can do

Will it be a song about a wild wind,

With thunderclap and flashes of blue

Or will it be a song about an angel?

It'll never be as beautiful as you

This guitar only sings the way I play it,

It's 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 say won't come through

No matter where this guitar's gonna take us

It'll never be as beautiful as you
