What Good Is This Old Guitar? - Scardanelli & Sophie - 00 Set

Live in the studio - a song I wrote in 2014 as a tribute my muse, a Hoyer acoustic guitar, bought in Munich in 1972. What Good Is This Old Guitar? What good is this old guitar? that I’ve dragged from city to city carried around with me can’t settle down with me oh no. yeah what good is this old piece of wood to me? that suffers my angry blows or soft tender love never knows when fingers bleed on ebony So what good is this old guitar won’t somebody tell me it’s done nothing but sell me songs that I bring to a world that can’t sing in my key and though we don’t have much to show for this life just a few crazy songs I would be sad to lose my trusted old friend. well I found you in ’72 and I should have known better then to tie myself down so young give up my freedom unsung hitched to a runaway bride You promised me nothing it’s true but I pledged you my honesty my world-weary poetry you humoured me placated me so what good is this old guitar? I’ve carried around with me I've sat at home painfully re-arranging the facts just to cover my tracks in a song So what good is this old guitar? now that I’m turning grey do we still have some songs to play? but in an easier key don’t be so hard on me and we don’t have much to show for this life just a few crazy songs I would be sad to lose my trusted old friend. yes and we don’t have much to show for this life just a few crazy songs.... I would be sad to lose my trusted....... my trusted old friend. © 2014 Simon Scardanelli/Musica Scardanelli
