Lyrics

[Intro]
| Cadd9 - G      - | Am - Em - | F - Gadd11 - | Cadd9 G6/B Am7 - |
| F     - Gadd11 - |

[Verse 1]
C               G             Am         Em
 This old guitar taught me to sing a love  song
F                Gadd11                C   G6/B Am7 Am7/G
 It showed me how      to laugh and how to cry
     F                          Gadd11
It introduced me to some friends      of mine
    C            G6/B         Am7 Am7/G
And brightened up    some days
   F                        Gadd11                  C G6/B Am7 Am7/G
It helped me make it through      some lonely nights  Oh,
       F                   Gadd11                C G6/B Am7 Am7/G
what a friend to have on a cold  and lonely night
F Em7/F Gadd11

[Verse 2]
C               G             Am     Em
 This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
   F               Gadd11              C G6/B Am7 Am7/G
It opened up her eyes    and ears to me
   F                    Gadd11
It brought us close together  
      C        G6/B           Am7 Am7/G
And I guess it broke her heart
   F                Gadd11          C G6/B Am7 Am7/G
It opened up the space    for us to be
       F                Gadd11                C G6/B Am7 Am7/G F Gadd11
What a lovely place and a     lovely space to be

[Verse 3]
C               G           Am
 This old guitar gave me my life,
   Em
my living
F                       Gadd11          C G6/B Am7 Am7/G
 All the things you know      I love to do
F                    Gadd11
To serenade the stars      that shine
       C     G6/B      Am7 Am7/G
From a sunny mountainside 
    F              Gadd11             C  G6/B Am7 Am7/G
And most of all to sing  my songs for you
F              Gadd11             C   G6/B
 I love to sing      my songs for you Yes, I do,
Am7        Am7/G
   you know

          Gadd11             C  G6/B Am7

[Outro]
