Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

When I get home

I'm going to pick up that old guitar bass of mine

and take it for a walking down a bass line

I'll take my girl and show her

how to make up for lost time when I get home

 and pick up that old guitar bass of mine

Verse 2

When I get back

we'll make up for the loving that we lack

I'll tell you about my traveling down a railroad track

I know you turn to leave is coming

I hope you can pack, I'll still be playing

that same old guitar bass when you get back

Verse 3

When you are gone

I'll play this song to keep me warm

I'll play this song and it'll mend me when I'll torn

so if you feel a cold wind blow

and have no shelter from the storm

remember...

remember this song to keep you warm

and I'll still be playin'

that same guitar when you get back
