Capo 1
F#
He would sit on there the back porch and play that old guitar
B F#
He played the wildwood flower and drank whiskey from a jar
B
He would sit there and remember, a time of long ago
F# C# F#
Back when he still loved her, before he let her go
F#
She had promised to be faithful, but she lied to him
B F#
So, he started drinking whiskey, to make the thoughts go dim
B
Back when he was younger, he would fight in the bars
F# C# F#
The only friend, he has left now, is that old......Martin guitar
CHORUS
B F#
It was an old beat up Martin, he bought used in,,54,,
C# F#
She had dings and dents all over, but he couldn't have loved her more
B F#
She sounded like a choir of angels, singing from afar
C# F#
When he made a "C" chord on that old .......Martin guitar
(Instrumental)
F#
He never found another woman to take her place
B F#
He just sits there picking, and trying to forget her face
B
He plays a lot of songs of old, from his days back in the bar
F# C# F#
The only love, he has left now, is that old......Martin Guitar
F#
Some people thought that he was crazy, but they don't understand
B F#
His only love had hurt him, when the ring went on her hand
B
They found him on that back porch, whiskey spilled from an old fruit jar
B F# C# F#
In his hands was his wedding ring and that old......Martin Guitar
CHORUS
B F#
It was an old beat up Martin, he bought used in"54"
C# F#
She had dings and dents all over, but he couldn't have loved her more
B F#
She sounded like a choir of angels, singing from afar
C# F#
When he made a "C" chord on that old .......Martin guitar
