This old guitar taught me to sing a love song,
G                   A                 D  D/C#  D/B  D/A
it showed me how to laugh and how to  cry.
     G                   A
It introduced me to some friends of mine,
    D          D/C#    D/B    D/A 
and brightened up some days,
G                    A                D  D/C#  D/B  D/A 
it helped me make it thru some lonely nights.     
       G                   A               D  D/C#  D/B  D/A    G  Asus  A
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night.

 

D           A              Bm     F#m
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady,
G                A                D  D/C#  D/B  D/A 
it opened up her eyes and ears to me.
G                     A
It brought us close together,
      D        D/C#       D/B    D/A    
and I guess it broke her  heart,
G                A               D  D/C#  D/B  D/A  
it opened up the space for us to be.
       G                  A               D  D/C#  D/B  D/A    G  Asus  A
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be.


D           A              Bm       F#m
This old guitar gave me my life, my living,
G                      A              D  D/C#  D/B  D/A   
and all the things you know I love to do.
G               A
To serenade the stars that shine
       D     D/C#    D/B  D/A    
from a sunny mountainside,
G                  A                 D  D/C#  D/B  D/A   
and most of all to sing my songs for you.
G         A                 D    D/C#  D/B     D/A  
I love to sing my songs for you. Yes I do, you know
G             A                 D  D/C#  D/B  D/A    G  Asus  A  D
and I love to sing my songs for you.
