Dave Gunning - The Weight Of My Guitar Chords

CAPO: 5th Fret




INTRO: C    G  Am    G  C    G  Am

G               C
Picked up my guitar
  G                Am
I passed it to the kid
   G                C
He said he found it heavy
  G               Am
I hadn't thought about it
                      G
He must have struck a chord
C                           F
Somewhere in the back of my mind
                   G     F  G
Maybe from another time


                     C
But, knew when I was young
    G                 Am
And set out along the road
    G          C
The songs came fast
        G               Am
But the rhymes were all wrong
                 G
The colour of it darkened
  C       F
Before my eyes
                             G    
There's another world fell inside


CHORUS:
       Am             C
Broken strings left behind
     Am              C
From stories where I stood
                   G
Like wishes from a falling star
       Am                 C
And it cracked from those aches
       Am                   C
That I drove into the wood
                     G
You'd never guess it from afar
                F
The weight of my_ guitar


INTERLUDE: C    G  Am    G  C    G  Am


G               C
Ghosts from the past
    G         Am
Are hiding in there
G              C
Skeletons from closets
   G         Am
In need of repair
          G
Best kept secrets
C              F
Whispered in a bar
                          G 
Under the bridge of my guitar


                C
Don't tell, she said
  G        Am
Unless you do
     G         C
In a song that makes me
  G           Am
A little less blue
                   G
I'm a sucker for a punch-line
    C         F
And that's no joke
                  G    
And I watched her go


CHORUS:
       Am             C
Broken strings left behind
     Am              C
From stories where I stood
                   G
Like wishes from a falling star
       Am                 C
And it cracked from those aches
       Am                   C
That I drove into the wood
                     G
You'd never guess it from afar
                F         G
The weight of my_ guitar


BRIDGE:
F                   G
Somewhere there's a heart
     F          C
It's heavy as I turn
      Am                    G
I can feel it getting lighter
         F                   C
With the beat of every stroke
                     G
You'd never guess it from afar
                F       
The weight of my_ guitar
