Emma Jeans Guitar

C G G G C G D


[Verse 1]
  G
I found it in a pawn shop in a 
ragged cardboard case
         Em
With the guns and dusty watches
   D
It looked so out of place
       C                 G     
With a Trailways baggage sticker 
                    Em
yellow frayed and torn
C           G            D        G
Destination Nashville September '64


[Chorus]
              Em         
And you could tell by the 
 C
fingerboard
    G                  D
Her painted nails were long
    Em          C
She only needed three chords
   D
To play those good ole country songs

        G
And her name's etched in the finish
                     Em
Like a fading battle scar
         C    G          D       
And this 1950 Gibson was Emma 
       G
Jean's guitar

[Verse 2]
  G
I wonder if she played it in a small
 town talent show
         Em                        
With her hair teased to perfection 
     D
in a dress her mama sewed
          C           G        
And for a little inspiration she 
              Em
pasted on a star
C              G             D  
Here up on the head stock of 
            G
Emma Jean's guitar


[Chorus]
              Em         
And you could tell by the 
 C
fingerboard
    G                  D
Her painted nails were long
    Em          C
She only needed three chords
   D
To play those good ole country songs

        G
And her name's etched in the finish
                     Em
Like a fading battle scar
         C    G          D       
And this 1950 Gibson was Emma 
       G
Jean's guitar


[Verse 3]
  G
I wouldn't even know her if I saw 
her face to face
              Em                
But there's a little bit of Emma 
         D
Jean in every song I play
    C                  G       
She passed along these hopes and 
                       Em
dreams cradled in my arms
    C           G           D    
And I am just a guardian of Emma 
          G
Jean's guitar


[Chorus]
              Em         
And you could tell by the 
 C

    G                  D
Her painted nails were long
    Em          C
She only needed three chords

And her name's etched in the finish
                     Em
