Close But No Guitar

Tom: Bm

 D                          G
I'd sing the harmonies and Dixie sang the melody
    F#
And we'd sing a little off key sometimes
    G                 D
But we had some fun, son of a gun
    E                A
I wonder if I ever even cross her mind

[Verse 2]
   D                      G
Then she ran away with Billy Bovine
     F#
He was a flat top guitar picking friend o' mine
     G                          D
And now I'm just sitting' home just counting' the stars
     E                 D
I got close but no guitar

[Chorus]
   D
I got close but no guitar
   F#
She was a shooting star
     B
Who ran off with a guitar picking friend o' mine
    E
She's really on her way
    A
I hear her records every day
   D
I got close but no guitar

[Verse 3]
     D                      G
I still play piano bars, still drive that same ol' car
   F#
I live in that little shack in Tupelo
   G                              D
Dixie is the queen of Billboard Magazine
    E                               A
Playing' 'cross the country doing' one night shows

[Verse 4]
 D                      G
A man walks up with a dollar in his hand
  F#
Says let me hear the song by Dixie and the guitar man
   E                           A
And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar
   E                   D
I get close but no guitar

[Chorus]
  D
I got close but no guitar
   F#
She was a shooting star
     B
Who ran off with a guitar picking friend o' mine
    E
She's really on her way
    A
I hear her records every day
   D
I got close but no guitar
