My manager misspells my name,
    A7
And tells me things arent quite the 
same,
     G               D            
When fingers started pointing, he 
  E7           A7     D
exclaimed that it was mine.

    G
And how are you Mom and Dad?
    Bm
The news, it sure made me sad,
   Em                          
(barre) A   B7
To hear that dear old Brownie 
slipped away.. ..
  E                 G#m
I guess things just come and go,
C#m               E
Nothing stays the same you know,
    B                          G  
Im sorry I didnt come to say hello
                A  A7
 on Christmas Day..

    D
And hello, Mr. Public, I just 
stopped by to play a lick,
Tried to look enthusiastic and could
             E
 not raise a smile.
  A
I guess its time to leave the road,
    A7
And hang up eighteen years or so,
   G             D             E7
It sure aint an easy thing to 
        A7     D
sell this old guitar.
