Guitar Boy Blues.

Well first you flick the switch,
Then you get the red lamp.
Pause to warm the tubes,
Then play through your amp.

Saying mercy, mercy, mercy,
Don’t you hear it cry and sing.
Mercy help me Lord,
It’s just my guitar thing.

You always warm up easy,
With a favourite tune.
Spicen up the stew with some slides,
And bends up to the moon.

Saying mercy, mercy, mercy,
Don’t you hear it cry and sing.
Mercy help me Lord,
It’s just my guitar thing.
