About the Artist
Lyrics
Were it not for my guitar My hands would both be idle, my brain suicidal For I would not have an outlet For the tidal wave of feelings in my heart When I'm trying not to cry I grab her by the neck and strike her with a plectrum A life without accompaniment would wreck me So, I hope we never part Give me a guitar, an extension of my soul Hold her in my arms and I lose control (he is the guitar man) She completes me, makes me whole We are the guitar men, long live rock and roll Ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah When I cannot find the words My fingers will articulate the pain, the joy, the love, the hate So, listen as my instrument Dictates a memorandum to the throng How I love my sweet guitar To the luthier, I owe a debt of gratitude for every fret For when I hold my baby in my arms I get the feeling I belong Give me a guitar, an extension of my soul Hold her in my arms and I lose control (he is the guitar man) She completes me, makes me whole We are the guitar men, long live rock and roll Give me my guitar, an extension of my soul Something to believe in, truth be told (he is the guitar man) She completes me, makes me whole We are the guitar me, long live rock and roll Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah
