Lyrics and Chords

Intro: 0:00
E | E | E | E

Verse 1: 0:09
                 E
Standin' in the rain
                    E
With his head hung low.
                E
Couldn't get a ticket,
                    E  D/E
It was a sold out show.
0:20
                        E
Heard the roar of the crowd,
                       D/E
He could picture the scene.
                    E
Put his ear to the wall,
                      D/E
And like a distant scream,
0:31
                    E
He heard one guitar,
                   D
Just blew him away.
                      E
Saw stars in his eyes,
                      D
And the very next day.

Verse 2: 0:42
                     E
He bought a beat up six-string
                   D/E
In a second hand store.
                     E
Didn't know how to play it,
                 D/E
But he knew for sure.
0:53
                E
That one guitar
                       D
Felt good in his hands.
                 E
Didn't take long
               D
To understand.
1:04
                E
Just one guitar
                D
Slung way down low.
                     E
Was a one way ticket,
                   D
Only one way to go.

Verse 3: 1:58
                     E
In a town without a name,
                D/E
In a heavy downpour,
                            E
Thought he passed his own shadow
                  D/E
By the backstage door.
2:09
                             E
Like a trip through the past,

That day in the rain.

That one guitar
                           D
Made his whole life change.
