The Guitar Dont Lie

Written by Tony Joe White

	  		

Intro:  Bm , F#m x4 

    Bm        F#m    Bm           F#m 
He sits all alone, playing his guitar 
        Bm         F#m    Bm   F#m 
In the back of a small café 
   Bm            F#m         Bm        F#m 
No one seems to hear so he closes his eyes 
 G             D     F#m       Bm     Bm x4 
Just lets the music take him away 

G                 D   G                 F# 
Singing songs of love, songs of broken hearts 
      Bm           E            Bm           E 
He's worn out his luck and his last pair of jeans 
         Bm        E               Bm         E 
But you keep going on when you're living on dreams 
         G         D            F#           Bm  F#m   Bm , F#m x2 
You can feel it inside and the guitar don't lie 

           Bm       F#m      Bm          F#m 
There's a lady he knows, who often comes by 
       Bm     F#m        Bm   F#m 
She's heavily into the blues 
       Bm        F#m      Bm     F#m 
She requests the same song every night 
 G         D           F#            Bm     Bm x4 
Says it reminds her of someone she knew 

    G              D  G                   F# 
A trace of her perfume floats across the room 
Bm               E      Bm               E 
Once they were close, shared all their dreams 
        Bm           E           Bm       E 
But now all that he feels is a physical thing 
            G      D            F#           Bm  F#m   
They grow slowly apart and the guitar don't lie 

Solo:  Bm , F#m x2  Em x4  Bm , F#m x2  Em x4  Bm , F#m x2 

      Bm             F#m     Bm          F#m 
Some nights it gets cold, it makes him aware 
      Bm       F#m      Bm   F#m 
That time is slipping away 
Bm            F#m         Bm         F#m 
If you look close at his dark curly hair 
G          D               F#        Bm   Bm x4 
Under the lights there's traces of grey 

         G                   D   G                 F# 
But he knows what it's all about, to feel down and out 
      Bm           E     Bm          E 
He's been there before, he's seen it all 
         Bm          E             Bm           E 
And you learn to survive with your back to the wall 
         G        D            F#           Bm F#m    Bm , F#m x4 Bm  
It's a crazy old life and the guitar don't lie,   oh no
