This old guitar taught me to sing a love song.
G A7 D Bm
It showed me how to laugh and how to cry.
G A7 D Bm
Introduced me to some friends of mine and brightened up some days.
G A7 D Bm
And helped me make it through some lonely nights.
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night.
D A7 Bm F#m
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady.
G A7 D Bm
It opened up her eyes and ears to me.
G A7 D Bm
It brought us close together, and I guess it broke her heart.
G A7 D Bm
It opened up the space for us to be.
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
What a lovely place and a lovely place to be.
D A7 Bm Fm
This old guitar gave me my life, my living.
G A7 D Bm
All the things you know I love to do.
G A7 D Bm
To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountain side.
G A7 D Bm
And most of all to sing my songs for you.
G A7 D Bm
I love to sing my songs for you, yes I do You know.
G A7 D
I love to sing my songs for you
