    C - G - Am - Em      F - G - C - Em - Am - C          F - G

 

   C                        - G                       Am     Em

1.    This old guitar      taught me to sing a  love song,

F                                     G                          C     - Em - Am - C

    it showed me how to laugh and how to  cry.

                F                             G

    It introduced me to some friends of mine,

C                          Em          Am    - C

    and brightened up some days,

         F                            G                         C       - Em    Am

    it helped me make it thru  some lonely nights.         Oho.

                  F                             G                     C    - Em - Am - C - F - G

    What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night.

 

   C                        - G                     Am     Em

2.    This old guitar      gave me my lovely lady,

F                               G                        C     - Em - Am - C

    it opened up her eyes and ears to me.

           F                               G

    It brought us close together,

               C          Em           Am     - C

    and I guess it broke her  heart,

         F                         G                   C       - Em - Am - C

    it  opened up the space for us to be.

                 F               - G                                   C  - Em - Am - C - F - G

    What a lovely place    and a lovely space to be.

   C                         - G                     Am       Em

3.    This old guitar       gave me my life, my living,

F                                        G                  C     - Em - Am - C

    and all the things you know I love to do.

           F                     G

    To serenade the stars that shine

                C          Em        Am   - C

    from a sunny mountain-side,

F                               G                           C       - Em - Am - C

    and most of all to sing my songs for you.

F                 G                          C     Em   Am           C  

    I love to sing my songs for you. Yes I do, you know
