[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Verse 3]

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