Artist: Willie Nelson
[A]There's a guitar in the corner
That [E7]used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing [A]along
It was a happy song about a girl
Loving [A7]me like I loved [D]her
But the strings no longer [A]ring
And [E7]things are not the way they [A]were
[E7]Now when I need a song
My mind goes [D]back where I belong
When I'm [B7]not there and the future is not clear
And the past is just a smoke ring in the [E7]air
And that [A]guitar in the corner
Just [E7]waits there by the wall
Standing guard and thinking
A new song might come to [A]call
And free us from this minor key
That [A7]we both been living [D]in
And we'll pick up where we left [A]off
And [E7]play some songs [A]again
[A]There's a guitar in the corner
That [E7]used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing [A]along
That [E7]used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing [A]along
It was a happy song about a girl
Loving [A7]me like I loved [D]her
But the strings no longer [A]ring
And [E7]things are not the way they [A]were
[E7]Now when I need a song
My mind goes [D]back where I belong
When I'm [B7]not there and the future is not clear
And the past is just a smoke ring in the [E7]air
And that [A]guitar in the corner
Just [E7]waits there by the wall
Standing guard and thinking
A new song might come to [A]call
And free us from this minor key
That [A7]we both been living [D]in
And we'll pick up where we left [A]off
And [E7]play some songs [A]again
[A]There's a guitar in the corner
That [E7]used to have a song
I would hold it while it played me
And I would sing [A]along
