Capo 4

G                              C       C/B   Am   Am/G
This ole Martin Guitar made in nineteen forty six
    D                                                         G 
Its cracked ,scratched , and splintered from finger nails and picks
         G                             C       C/B   Am    Am/G
But it's been my close companion since nineteen sixty two
D                                                    G 
Please don't ask me to decide between this guitar and you


Chorus
            G                         C
What do you want from me, what do you want
D                          G        D
Do I have to give you everything
            G                         C 
What do you want from me, what do you want
D                          G
Do I have to give you everything


Well all my friends quit drinkin, you cant smoke no where no more
I think I'll take up smokin though I've never smoked before
I'm getting tired of decaf coffee, I crave high test in my cup
too young to die of bored and too old to grow up

Chorus

Instrumental break

Well I've unloaded boxcars, Ive sold bibles door to door
yeah id be rich and famous if I weren't alone and poor
Blessed are the the poor in spirit 'fore they'll inherit the earth
but the day I hand the world to you, you'll ask me what it's worth

Chorus

Do I have to give you everything
