          A                Bm    F#m
This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
G                    A7sus             D D/C# Bm Bm/A
 It showed me how to laugh and how to cry
         G                 A
It introduced me to some friends of mine
      D       D/C#      Bm Bm/A
and brightened up some days
        G                 A7sus               D   D/C# Bm
and it helped me make it through some lonely nights 
   Bm/A

         G                  A7             D   D/C# Bm Bm/A
What a friend to have on a cold an lonely night 
 G A7sus A7

D             A             Bm     F#m
 This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
G                A7sus             D  D/C# Bm Bm/A
 It opened up her eyes and ears to me
     G                 A
It brought us close together
       D       D/C#        Bm Bm/A
and I guess it broke her heart
   G              A              D  D/C#  Bm Bm/A
It opened up the space for us to be
        G                 A7sus  A7     D D/C#  Bm Bm/A
What a lovely place and a lovely way to be 
    G  A7sus A7

D             A             Bm       F#m
 This old guitar gave me my life, my living --
G                   A7sus          D  D/C# Bm Bm/A
 all the things you know I love to do
    G             A
To serenade the stars that shine
        D    D/C#     Bm  Bm/A
from a sunny mountain side
     G              A                D  D/C#  Bm  Bm/A
and most of all to sing my songs for you
G           A                 D  D/C#  Bm Bm/A
 I love to sing my songs for you, yes I do
G               A                 D  D/C#  Bm Bm/A
 and I love to sing my songs for you
G  A7sus A7   D  D/C#  Bm Bm/A  G  A  D
