Emma Jeans Guitar chords

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G] [G] [G] [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 1]
I [G]found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case
With the [Em]guns and dusty watches
It [D]looked so out of place
With a [C]Trailways baggage [G]sticker yellow frayed and [Em]torn
[C]Destination [G]Nashville Sep[D]tember '6[G]4

[CHORUS]
And you could [Em]tell by the [C]fingerboard
Her [G]painted nails were [D]long
She [Em]only needed [C]three chords
To [D]play those good ole country songs

And her [G]name's etched in the finish
Like a fading battle [Em]scar
And this [C]1950 [G]Gibson was [D]Emma Jean's gui[G]tar

[VERSE 2]
I [G]wonder if she played it in a small town talent show
With her [Em]hair teased to perfection in a [D]dress her mama sewed
And for a [C]little inspi[G]ration she pasted on a [Em]star
[C]Here up on the [G]head stock of [D]Emma Jean's gui[G]tar

[CHORUS]
And you could [Em]tell by the [C]fingerboard
Her [G]painted nails were [D]long
She [Em]only needed [C]three chords
To [D]play those good ole country songs

And her [G]name's etched in the finish
Like a fading battle [Em]scar
And this [C]1950 [G]Gibson was [D]Emma Jean's gui[G]tar

[VERSE 3]
I [G]wouldn't even know her if I saw her face to face
But there's a [Em]little bit of Emma Jean in [D]every song I play
She [C]passed along these [G]hopes and dreams cradled in my [Em]arms
And [C]I am just a [G]guardian of [D]Emma Jean's gui[G]tar

[CHORUS]
And you could [Em]tell by the [C]fingerboard
Her [G]painted nails were [D]long
She [Em]only needed [C]three chords
To [D]play those good ole country songs

And her [G]name's etched in the finish
Like a fading battle [Em]scar
And this [C]1950 [G]Gibson was [D]Emma Jean's gui[Em]tar

This [C]1950 [G]Gibson was [D]Emma Jean's gui[G]tar
