[Intro]
E  A     x3
 
 
[Verse 1]
B                 A
Remind me to tell you
A        B
Bout the old silver miner
        G
Name of hard rock Pete
        A
Had his house built on a slope
B        A           B
They say one of his legs
B
Lived in Calico
          G
There’s a rumour going round
        A
That the other lived in hope
     D
So I walked in the room
C     D
And I stopped
C  F
I turned around
           G
And looked over my shoulder
      D      C    D             C
And a voice close beside me said
      F
You'd better watch your head
    G
The party's over
 
 
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar
E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car
 
 
[Verse 2]
B                 A
It wasn't long before
A        B
The waitress came over and said
        G
Can I freshen up your drink
             A
And have you heard of these boys
           B
And if you feel inclined
A   B
To buy some cowboy boots
          G
Well it's not that bad
        A
We can talk above the noise
D           C     D   C
So I sucked on my beer
F
Shut my eyes
             G
And tried to listen to the words
  D      C          D       C
I know I missed the meaning
        F
But the message
                  G
Was something I'd already heard
 
 
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar
E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car

[Verse 3]
B      A       B
Johnny Ringo's voice
B
Is getting deeper
   G
And now he's going to put
        A
Another lock on the door
    B                    A
The night is getting later
B
My head is getting lighter
    G
The mood is getting darker
   A
Tequila's being poured
D           C     D
So I smile at the old gunslinger
        F
In his frame on the wall
      G
As he pushed back his hat
         D   C      D
And it's all coming back
           F
I'd cut a long story short
         G
But it's much too late for that
 
 
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar
E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car
 
 
[Outro]
E                 A
I was sleeping in Memphis
E           A
In my hotel room
E            A           E   A
And somebody stole my guitar
E  A   x2
