My Guitar Lyrics - Wishbone Ash

When I was just a boy at school 

The kids all said that I was cool. 

Even said I could go far, just me and my guitar. 

I combed my hair in a big el quiff, 

Lots of grease to make it stiff, 

My pointed toes and my boot-lace tie - 

I'm going to catch your eye. 

Oh, oh, rock and roll - 

I can't stop, it's got a hold. 

Hey, hey, what I say? 

Ain't nobody gonna take it away. 

I met a girl and she could sing - 

She could do most anything. 

When I took her in my car, she just wanted my guitar. 

So I put my foot hard down, 

Left her standing in that old town. 

Ain't nobody going to come between 

Me and my machine. 

Woah, oh, rock and roll - 

I can't stop, it's got a hold. 

Hey, hey, what I say? 

Ain't nobody gonna take it away. 

Then one day I took a ride 

Into the city and the bright lights. 

I soon found out that I was on my own, 

Just picking at the bone. 

Just one thing for me to do - 

I had to make it up and anew, 

So I picked up my faithful friend 

And I played it to the end.
