N.С.
Standin’ in the rain, with his head hung low
N.С.
Couldn’t get a ticket, it was a sold out show
N.С.
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
N.С.
Put his ear to the wall, and like a dastant scream
N.С. E D
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
E D
Saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Verse 2:
N.С.
Bought a beat up six-string in a second hand store
N.С.
Didn’t know how to play it, but he knew for sure
E D
That that one guitar felt good in his hands
E D
Didn’t take long to understand
E D
Just one guitar, slung way down low
E D
Was a one way ticket, only one way to Go
