Verse 1: (gtr. 1, dist.)
[N.C.]
Standin' in the rain, with his head hung low
[N.C.]
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
[N.C.]
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
[N.C.]
Put his ear to the wall, and like a dastant scream
[N.C.]
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
Saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Verse 2:
[N.C.]
Bought a beat up six-string in a second hand store
[N.C.]
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That that one guitar felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to Go

Verse 3: (gtr. 1 w/ Rhy. Fig. 4, gtr. 2 tacet)
[N.C.]
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
[N.C.]
Thought he passed his own shadow by the backstage door
[N.C.]
Like a trip thorugh the past, that day in the rain
That one guitar made his whole life change
