Close But No Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm[F] about to lose my voi[C]ce,
so I'm going to do this one for [F]you.
My [C]little darling took me to
hear the symphony
[G]I've [C]al ways loved good pick[F]ing,
it sounded like a good idea [G]to me
[C]They had all kinds of fiddles
stuck underneath their chin[G]s.
I [C]sat all night wait[F]ing for the
guitars [G]to come [C]in .
Yes and they almost got it.
So close but yet so [G]far.
And I [C]almost [F]thought it was
close [Bb]but no guitars.
[C]Wel[Cm]l tha[C]t [F]kid[C][F][C][F][C]
that lives next door to me,
he drives a beat -up [G]Ford and he loves
[C]and when the woo[F]fers
are blowin' [G]down [F]his [C]doors
And one day I finally told him
and I think it made him mad
[G]I said, son[C], you had a little flat top[F] now
and that wouldn't sound [G]half [F]bad[C]
[F]Well, he [C]almost bought it
so close to get so [G]far
He [C]al [Eb]most [F]got it
Yes, it was close, but [G]no guitar
[Bb][C][Cm][C][G][Bb][C][F]
[Dm][F][G][C][G][F]
[Dm]Well[C],[Bb][C]
down in the deep, jungle,
far from where I'm [G]from,
well, the natives,
they were [F]wrestlers
and they were beating [G]on their drums
[C]and they had the kettle boiling
right before they threw me [G]in
I said [C]boys I brought my gui[F]tar
you mind if I [G]set in [C]and they almost got it
it was close to get so far
[G]they al [C]most bou[F]ght it
yes it was close but [G]no gui[C]tar
they almost got it so close to get so far
[G]And I alm[C]ost tho[F]ught it was close
[G]It was [F]mighty close, [G]but
Yes, [F]it was close,
but [G]no gui[Bb]tar [C]...[F][G][C][Bb][C]
Thank y 'all!

[Outro 1]
