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
