That Old Silvertone

G D A D D He used to play the Opry G When he was on a roll D The rhinestones he was flashing A Have all but lost their glow D That old guitar he was wearing G Was the only friend he'd known D He could sure sing a sad country song A D With that old Silvertone G An astray for tips a barstool for a stage D He'd stay there till closing time A And play the pain away D That old guitar in the corner G Was the only friend he'd known D He could sure sing a sad country song A D With that old Silvertone G D A D D I stopped in that little bar G To try and catch his show D But he'd moved on to a bigger stage A Little did I know D I'd say there's just not one dry eye G In Canaan land tonight D Cause the way he'd play that Silvertone A D Would make an angel cry G A beer mug for tips a barstool for a stage D He'd play there till closing time A and sing the blues away D For a tip and a shot of whiskey G He'd put you on the show D He could sure sing a sad country song A D With that old Silvertone G D Yeah, he could sure sing a sad country song A D with that old Silvertone
