Once there was a time I'd rob my mama for a good meal and a smoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother for a dollar when I was broke
But I'd never sell my guitar and my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar I'll be strumming on some angel’s harp                      
And if I don't get to Heaven and I go down there below
Better be a guitar   when I get there or I will refuse to go

                    Once there was a time I was hungry        And I'd find my food in some bin
      A                 A                               E                D                 A
                    But I'd never, never sell my guitar ‘Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin
