Goodbye Guitar

Goodbye Guitar
I don't need you anymore
being a songwriter's
made me downright sick and poor

Goodbye Guitar
I am showing you the door
Goodbye Guitar
I was fool and that's for sure

                  I can't look you in the face
                   I need a bass

Goodbye Guitar
I have thrown away the pick
I don't want to be a star
& be like every other prick

Goodbye Guitar
I am buying back my soul
not cut out to be a star
more an ordinary black hole

                   don't show yourself around my amp
                   oh please I got a cramp

Goodbye Guitar
I don't need you any more
you can hear me from afar
but I'm closing the back door

Goodbye Guitar
you ain't messing up my grime
I'll be down Montelimar
& I'll never be the same

                      I had my savoy truffle
                       now skid addle

Goodbye Guitar
I'm just an ordinary hater
not a star like Aguilera
or a Simon Cowell dictator

take your pretty bursty blue thing
and find some other bitch
to strut you round the circuit
and make you and her mates rich

                     cos I never got the chords to play
                     they're upside down and then sideways
                     they make no sense I'd rather play a bass

Goodbye Guitar
I never even named ya
must have had a ghost already
some one jealous out there framed ya

Goodbye Guitar
at least there's money now for petrol
I can go climb in the car
put my food down and forget ya

                         Daddy got a banjo somewhere
                         Momma got a pie, sayin'
                         harden up, you grin & bear it
                         I know that's a lie

Goodbye Guitar
may a mariachi steal ya
March back into some old bar
where my soulmate will reveal ya

Goodbye Guitar
make sure you get the proper leads
and a travel case that's hard
so no damn drunk breaks your feeds

                             keep those strings on tight
                             keep those hum buckers alight
                               Goodbye   Goodbye    Goodbye
                             I'll hear tonight

Goodbye Guitar
the pill is kicking' in
I just tried to take a half one
jus because I'm out of Gin

Goodbye guitar
come and spend the last night here
I can play that chord you liked
so much when Johnny cracked my ear

                               there's a blanket & there's you
                                that's gotta do........
