Chord/Tab song: Old Violin

Well I can't re[Db]call[F#] one time in my [Db]life,
[Db]I've felt as lonely[Ab] as I do to[Db]night.
I feel like I could lay down,
[F#]And get up no [Db]more.
Its the damnedest feelin',
[Ab]I never felt it be[Db]fore.


Tonight I [Db]feel[F#] like an old vio[Db]lin.
Soon to be put away[Ab] and never played a[Db]gain.
Don't ask me why I feel like this,
[F#]Hell, I can't [Db]say.
I [F#]only wish this [Db]feeling[Ab] would just go a[Db]way.
I guess its 'cause the [F#]truth is the hardest thing I ever [Db]faced,
'Cause you can't [F#]change the [Db]truth in the [Ab]slightest way.
[F#m11]I tried.... [Db]


So I asked myself...I said John,
[F#]Where do you go from [Db]here? [F#]
[Db]Then like a damn fool I turned a[Ab]round and looked in the [Db]mirror,[F#]
[Db]And there I saw[F#] an old vio[Db]lin.
[F#]Soon to be [Db]put away,[Ab] and never played a[Db]gain.[F#]
[Db]So one more time, just to be sure,
[F#]I said John,[Db] where in the hell do you go from here?[F#]
[Db]And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of [Ab]difference,
When I looked [Db]in the mirror.
[F#]Thats when I [Db]knew.


That there I was seein'[F#] an old vio[C]lin.
[F#]Soon to be [C]put away[Ab] and never played a[Db]gain.[F#]
[Db]And just like that it hit me,
'Cause that old violin and I were just alike.
We'd give our all to music,
And [Ab]soon, we'll give our [Db]lives....[Ab][Db]
