Old Violin chords by George Strait

Intro:
G C/G x3

Verse 1:

        G  C/G       G  C/G
Well, I can't recall one time in my life

       G   D     G   C/G
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight

          G    C/G      G  C/G
I feel like I could lay down and get up no more

         G    D         G  C/G
It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before

Chorus:

      G  C/G      G   C/G
Tonight, I feel like an old violin

      G    D         G  C/G
Soon to be put away and never played again

Verse 2:

          G       C/G       G  C/G
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say

         G    D       G
I only wish this feeling would just go away

            C/G            G
I guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I've ever faced

           C/G    G      D       G#
'Cause you just can't change the truth in the slightest way

    G C/G
I tried

Verse 3:

G         C/G
 So I asked myself

     G   C/G          G   C/G
I said, "George, where do you go from here?"

      G           D          G   C/G
Then like a fool, I turned around and I looked in the mirror

Chorus:

         G   C/G    G  C/G
And there, I was seein' an old violin

      G    D         G  C/G G
Soon to be put away and never played again

Verse 4:

  C/G            G  C/G
So one more time, just to be sure

       G     C/G            G       C/G
I said, "Now, troubadour, where in the hell do you go from here?"

               G              D           G   C/G
And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference when I looked in the mirror

Chorus:

          G   C/G    G  C/G
'Cause there, I was seein' an old violin

      G    D         G  C/G
Soon to be put away and never played again

Verse 5:

            G   C/G
And just like that, it hit me

            G        C/G
Why that old violin and I, we're just alike

      G         D
We give our all to music, and soon we'll give our life

Outro:

G    C/G    G    C/G   G  D D7 G
Precious memories, how they linger, ooh
