Intro: G Am C G (play twice)
                     G
Well we talked about old times 
                Am
Like a couple of old guys 
C                                                  G
And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond 
G                             Am
And along came O'Brien with a guitar in his hand 
C                                   G
Met us on the field with impeccable timing 

       D                            G
He said "I got a new song to show ya 
           D                                G
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind" 
C
And the thing about O'Brien was 
        D                                      Am    C  Em
He could always make a string buzz like it was still 19 89 
      D
And I remembered that old car 
        C                      G
And that old girlfriend of mine 

G
It was a cracked wooden thing 
        Am
He said "Wanna talk about old strings? 
              C                                   G
"It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine" 
                
And it said Sears down the neck 
            Am
Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret 
        C                              G
But you know it still keeps impeccable time 

            D                          G
And he said "I got a brand new song to show ya 
          D                              G
"Though it prob'ly ain't gonna blow your mind" 
        C                      
And the thing about O'Brien was                 (Repeat)
        D
He could always make that string buzz 
            Am    C    Em
Like it was still 19 89 
      D
And I remembered that old car 
        C                      G
And that old girlfriend of mine 

           D                                    G
And that's the story of how O'Brien blew my mind
