Ballad of My Soul
Verse 1
Am G
In an dark dusty corner where memories go to hide
Dm Am F G
There sits an old guitar with stories deep inside
Am G
Its wooden body weathered and faded over time
Dm Am F G C
Just waiting for a player to bring it back to life

Chorus
Dm C
Just you and me, this old guitar and another glass of wine
G Dm G
Sitting on the back porch where I like to spend my time
F Em
Strumming my old memories lost but not yet done
Dm F F G C | C | G |
With every chord a story of a time a time that's come and gone
___________________ verse 2
Am G
Sitting by the fire recalling tales untold
Dm Am F G
Fingerpicking melodies timeless but not old
Am G
Each chord paints a picture with every word and strum
Dm Am F G C
Like the love I share with you and the stories yet to come
Chorus
Dm C
Just you and me, this old guitar and another glass of wine
G Dm G
Sitting on the back porch where I like to spend my time
F Em
Strumming my old memories lost but not yet done
Dm F F G C | C | G |
With every chord a story of a time a time that's come and gone

Bridge
G Am F C
As we toast another sunset upon the hills of gold
G F C
Sitting on the porch I'll sing until the night grows old
G Am F C
The songs that I have written echo in the breeze
F C F G G
In these ballads of my soul I find a little peace
___________________ verse 3
Am G
Calloused fingers strum the guitar strings
Dm Am F G
I sing the songs of who I am and who I might have been
Am G
The guitar gently whispers as the wine flows free
Dm Am F G C
I am bound by the songs of a life that's meant to be
