Tom: A
A D E A
In days gone by but not forgotten I plowed in the fields and I pulled in the cotton
D E
Things you'd never think I've done when you see me now
A D E A
I pick and sing and they call me a star but every time I look down at my old guitar
D E A
I know I'm just six strings away from that same ol' plow
Chorus 1:
D
I drive a new Royce Rolls, buy them tailor made clothes
A
How long will good times stay
A D
A poor boy ways and hard time days
E A
Are just six strings away
A D E A
I met a girl bout a year ago in a little country town where I played a show
D E
And though I love her I still wonder just what she'd do
A D E A
If I laid that old guitar down, how long would she hang around
D E A
Or is she just six strings away from someone new
Chorus 2:
D
Well them six little strings buy rings and good things
E A
But how long will she stay
A D
If she knew poor boy ways and and hard time days
E A
Were just six strings away
