[Verse 1]
        Em                      G
Well he threw one down from the top of the stairs
Am                   C             D
Beautiful women were standing everywhere
     Em                  G
They all got wet when he smashed that thing 
     Am                       D             G
But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

[Chorus]
      Am                 Em
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
G          C         D        Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
  Am                  Em         D
I don't know who they think they are
G          C         D        Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

Em          D         Em
Em          D         Em

[Verse 2]
    Em             G
It started back in 1963
    Am                          C            D
His momma wouldn't buy him that new red harmony
   Em             G
He settled for a sunburst with a crack
    Am                   D                 G
But he's still trying to break his momma's back


[Chorus]
      Am                 Em
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
G          C         D       Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
  Am                  Em         D
I don't know who they think they are
G          C         D        Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em

[Verse 3]
   Em                     G
He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
    Am               C           D
But every good thing comes to an end
    Em                  G
Now he just sits in his room all day
 Am             D            G
Whistling every note he ever played

[Solo]
Am   Em   G    C    D    Em
Am   Em   D    G    C    D


Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em

[Verse 4]
      Em                G
There ought to be a law with no bail
Am                     C     D
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
Em                 G
With no chance for early parole
    Am                      D        G
You don't get out until you get some soul


[Chorus]
      Am                 Em
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
G          C         D       Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
  Am                  Em         D
I don't know who they think they are
G          C         D        Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em

[Verse 5]
Em                G
Late at night the end of the road
   Am                       C             D
He wishes he still had that old guitar to hold
     Em             G
He'd rock it like a baby in his arms
Am           D           G
Never let it come to any harm


[Chorus]
      Am                 Em
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
G          C         D       Em
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
  Am                  Em         D        
I don't know who they think they are
G          C         D                      Em
Smashing a perfectly good --  good  --  guitar

Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em
Em     D      Em
