[Intro] [two electric guitars trading soft licks, warm amp glow] [Verse 1] Well I woke up this morning with the blues in my hand One guitar crying soft, the other making a stand We sat on that stage like two old friends Trading every sorrow till the night had to end [Verse 2] He played it sweet and easy, like a voice in the dark I answered with fire, put my heart in the spark No need for many words when the strings already know How a man can feel lonely with a crowd down below [Chorus] Play it for me, brother, let that guitar sing Tell the whole wide world what the blues can bring One note for the heartache, one bend for the pain Two souls on the wire in the pouring rain [Guitar Dialogue] [call and response: sweet vibrato guitar answers fiery blues bends] [Verse 3] There's a truth in the silence between every phrase A handshake in the music, a smile on the face We don't need a trophy, we don't need a crown Just a slow blues shuffle and the lights going down [Chorus] Play it for me, brother, let that guitar sing Tell the whole wide world what the blues can bring One note for the heartache, one bend for the pain Two souls on the wire in the pouring rain [Guitar Solo] [extended blues guitar duel, trading bars, emotional peaks, warm overdrive] [Final Chorus] Play it for me, brother, one more time tonight Let the blues take over till we fade with the light If heaven has a stage, I know what they'll play Two guitars talking till the break of day [Outro] [final traded licks, soft fade, club reverb]
