ME AND MY GUITAR As recorded by James Taylor (From the 1974 Album WALKING MAN) [Intro] E7 B7 E7 [Verse 1]

^E7Me and my guitar, always in the same mood. ^E7I am mostly flesh and bones and he is mostly wood. Never does grow impatient for the changes I don't ^Em11know, no. If

N.C.

he can't go to heaven, maybe, I don't want to go, Lord.

[Verse 2]

^E7Picture me in the key of E, call me Uncle John.

N.C.

^E7Any fool can easily see that we go back a long time. ^E7Feel something like fine to me, there's no such thing as the wrong time. He

N.C.

hops up on my knee, singing, get down, Pops, it's song time. ^E

[Bridge]

^E Every now and ^F#/G#then I'm a lonely ^C#m7man, it's ^F#m7nice to know that ^BI've got a fr^Eiend. Puts his ^F#/G#power right in my hand,^C#m7 ^B7all I've got to do is the best ^A7I can, if I can.

[Interlude] E7 A7 E7 [Verse 3]

^E7Got a dog named David, got a bird named Di

N.C.

nah, ^E7got a birthmark on my thigh in the shape of Mainland China. ^E7Got a somewhat southern accent cause I come from Carolina, and

N.C.

if you want to find us, we'll be walking right behind you.

[Bridge]

^E I hear horns^F#/G#, I hear ^C#m7voices, I hear strings,^F#m7 ^B ^E Seems I was born^F#/G# with too many ^C#choices. Now ^B7what am I going to do with ^A7all these extra things, ^A7as they serve to confuse me, really.

[Outro] E7 Bm7 A 7 It's me and my guitar, essentially me and my guitar.

Oh, ^E7maybe a few friends fall by for tea, a little bit of 'who do you love?' ^E7But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, it's me and my guitar. ^E7Having fun, boogie-woogie, uh-huh, me and my guitar, me and my guitar...
