Key:
G [Verse]
G Now this old Martin guitar
C G Am Made in nineteen forty-six
D It's cracked, it's scratched, it's splintered
G It's a pain to play as you pick [Verse]
G But it's been my close companion
C G Am Since nineteen sixty-two
D Please don't ask me to decide
G 'Tween this guitar and you [Chorus] What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G D Do I have to give you everything?
G What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G Do I have to give you everything? [Verse]

G Well, all my friends quit drinking
C G Am You can't smoke nowhere anymore
D I think I'll take up smoking
G Though I've never smoked before [Verse]
G I'm getting tired of decaf coffee
C G Am I crave high taste in my cup
D Too young to die of boredom
G And I'm too old to grow up [Chorus] What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G D Do I have to give you everything?
G What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G Do I have to give you everything? [Instrumental]
G C G Am D
G C G Am D G [Verse]
G Well, I've unloaded boxcars
C G Am I sold bibles door to door
D Hell, I'd be rich and famous
G If I weren't alone and poor [Verse]
G Blessed are the poor in spirit
C G Am For they'll possess the earth
D But the day I hand the world to you
G You'll ask me what it's worth [Chorus] What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G D Do I have to give you everything?
G What do you want from me, what do
C you want
D G Do I have to give you everything?
D G Do I have to give you everything?
