Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][E][Em][D]
[Bm]Every[D]body's got a

[Verse 1]
[E]
song
about [Em]their [A]old [Em]guitar[D]
So instead [Bm]I wrote a son[D]g
about how this [E]one got its
[A]scars[Asus4][A]
It's [G]not that I don't care [D]for it,
it's [Em]like a [A]friend to [D]me
But [G]every nick and [D]scratch
is a [G]piece of [A]history
[D]When I was 17,
I put that [G]crack there [A]in the bout
[D]In a smo[G]ky pub in London[D]
was my [Em]first time drinkin' stout
[A]I was sin[G]gin' like some hotsho[D]t,
my guitar [Em]slung on [D]my back
But [G]the strap peg wasn't [D]tight,
so [Bm]it fe[G]ll and got t[A]hat cr[D]ack
[G]Hey, old friend, you [D]served me well
You [A]cheered me up when [D]I was blue
But [G]just like me, I see [D]you've got
[Bm]A batt[G]le scar,[A] oh, too
[D]A b[Bm]attle[G] scar,[A] oh, too
[D]One[A] New[D] York City afternoon
when [G]I was 2[A]3[D]
I [G]went out for a [D]picnic in a
[Em]park with just one tree
[A]A fri[G]end was playing my old[D] guitar,
[A]and we played [E]a g[A]ame of c[D]hase
And he [G]turned around to look [D]at me,
[Bm]and a [E]branch went [A]through the [D]face
[G]Hey old friend, you [D]served me well,
you [A]cheered me up when [D]I was blue
But [G]just like me,
I see [D]you've [Bm]got a b[G]attle [A]scar too
[D]a b[Bm]attle[G] scar [A]or two
[D]all[A] the things that we go [G]through
[D]help to [A]make us who[G] we are
[D]the hur[Bm]ts and disappointmen[F#m]ts
and the [G]pain but [A]just like I
would never [D]sell or [A]trade
this [Bm]old g[A]ui[D]tar [Em]without the scars
my [G]heart just wouldn't be [A]the same
In [D]Oregon, a friend of mine
was reaching [G]for [A]a mic
[D]The gui[G]tar lay down on its[D] case,
we were [Em]fin ished for the night
[A]But a [G]cable caught on [D]something,
and a [Em]heavy mic [D]stand fell
So this Mar[G]tin sounds like [D]heaven,
[Bm]but that's why i[G]t looks li[A]ke hell[D]
[G]Hey old friend, you [D]served me well,
you [A]cheered me up when [D]I was blue
Just [G]like me,
I see [D]you've [Bm]got a battle [G]scar o[A]r two,[D]
[Bm]a ba[G]ttle sca[A]r or two[D].
[Bm]You and me play every [E]night,
we [Em]travel all [D]around.
And I hate [Bm]to say, but c[D]hances are,
we'll [E]both get knocked [A]around.
So I'll [G]take you to the [D]shop,
get you [Em]patched up when I must.
[D]Cause [Bm]it's bette[G]r to
get some [D]battle scars
[Bm]than to sit [G]and gath[A]er dust[D]
[G]Hey old friend, you [D]served me well,
you [A]cheered me up when [D]I was blue
But [G]just like me,
I see [D]you've [Bm]got a battle [G]scar o[A]r two
[D]A b[Bm]attle scar [G]or two[A][D]
You
