Bob Woodruff - That Was Then
[E]He was standing on the corner like a five foot ten inch stray dog
I got the feeling all he owned was just a suitcase in his hand and that [B]guitar
His old f[A]ord gave up the ghost outside of t[B]own it never got him very f[E]ar
He tossed a [A]paper coffee cup on to the side[B]walk and walked into the [E]bar
He said I play this [A]guitar[B] and I sing some all [E]right
And I'm just [A]looking for a joint that has cold [B]beer and a place to plug my [E]amp in tonight
I once was a [A]star[B] but this is now that was [E]then[C#m]
And I still l[A]ook to play my music for the [B]folks it makes me feel young [E]again
That night we let him set up in the corner and set him up with beer
When he played the people danced I've never seen it quite so lively in here
Then he sang some sad familiar song I hadn't heard in years
And on the faces of some people at the bar in their eyes were tears
He said I play this guitar and I sing some all right
And I'm just looking for a joint that has cold beer and a place to plug my amp in tonight
I once was a star but this is now that was then
And I still look to play my music for the folks it makes me feel young again
Solo
I play this guitar and I sing some all right
And I'm just looking for a joint that has cold beer and a place to crank my amp up tonight
I once was a star but this is now that was then
And I still look to play my music for the folks it makes me feel young again
Oh I look to play my music for the folks it makes me feel young again
