E                         A
He was selling an old guitar and I bought it
E                  A
I saw her smiling picture in his wallet
E                                      A
He said, "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name
is Charlotte"
E                 A
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)

She spends her days downtown hooked up to
some machine
They say time can heal, but time can't heal
everything
The lord's gonna take her home real soon flying'
on, angel wings
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)

A                             E
I'm gonna cry right now and that's ok
A                    E
We're all gonna die someday
F#m                          A
You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say
E                 A
(Do-do-do, do-do) (do-do-do)

Chorus:
A                                    E
It's all a grand illusion when you think you're
in control
A                               E
She's all I got left of selling everything I own
           F#m                            A
There's no good in a goodbye, it's the beginning
of the end
B
I left some songs in the guitar,
A                  E
sing 'em good my friend
E           A        E           A 
(Do-do-do) Oh, yeah, (do-do-do, do-do-do)

This old guitar case has been a million miles
Been a fools disciple, missed dance recitals,
and the birth of every child
Honestly, honesty never goes out of style
Sing the pain my friend

So the world see's her as just desperate, gray,
and old
All I see is my true love, my heart, my life,
my soul
At least for one more night I got a beautiful
 wrinkled hand to hold
Sing the truth my friend

I'm gonna cry right now and that's okay
We're all gonna die, someday
You won't remember a single word I'm trying to say

Chorus

E                         A
I'm gonna sing the pain away
E                              A
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then
E                         A           E   A
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend

Well I cried when I got in my truck, so
I put on my shades
Looked up at the crimson sky, as the sun
began to fade
And for the first time, in a long time, I swear
I think I prayed

I'm gonna sing the pain away
I'm gonna sing the truth, and then
I'm gonna sing em' good, for my old friend
Yeah my old friend
