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

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


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