Old Violin 
Written and recorded by Johnny Paycheck

C                    F              C
Well I can't recall  one time in my life 
                    G7        C
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight 
                              F             C
I feel like I could lay down  and get up no more 
                           G7           C
Its the damnedest feeling  I never felt before 
 
                F           C
Tonight I feel  like an old violin 
                     G7               C
Soon to be put away  and never played again 
                                   F            C
Don't ask me why I feel like this  hell I can't say 
  F              C        G7            C
I only wish this feeling  would just go away 
                       F                                 C
I guess its 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced 
                F          C            G7               C
Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way  I tried 
 
                              F                    C
So I asked myself I said John where do you go from here 
                               G7                       C
Then like a damn fool I turned around and looked in the mirror 
            F          C
And there I saw an old violin 
F          C         G7               C
Soon to be put away  and never played again
 

So one more time just to be sure 
F            C                                F
I said John  where in the hell do you go from here 
C                                             G7
And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
              C             F             C
When I looked in the mirror that’s when I knew 
 
                        F         C
That there I was seeing an old violin 
F          C        G7               C
Soon to be put away and never played again 

And just like that it hit me  
 
That old violin and I were just alike 
 
We'd give our all to music 
    G7                  C
And soon we'll give our lives
