John Hiatt – Perfectly Good Guitar Chords

Well he threw one down from the top of the stairs, beautiful women were standing everywhere
They all got wet when he smashed that thing , but off in the dark you could hear somebody sing
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars, smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don’t know who they think they are, smashing a perfectly good guitar

It started back in 1963, his momma wouldn’t buy him that new red harmony
He settled for a sunburst with a crack, but he’s still trying to break his momma’s back
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars, smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don’t know who they think they are, smashing a perfectly good guitar

He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend, but every good thing comes to an end
Now he just sits in his room all day, whistling every note he ever played

There ought to be a law with no bail, smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance for early parole, you don’t get out until you get some soul
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars, smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don’t know who they think they are, smashing a perfectly good guitar

Late at night the end of the road, he wishes he still had that old guitar to hold
He’d rock it like a baby in his arms, never let it come to any harm
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars, smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don’t know who they think they are, smashing a perfectly good, good, guitar
