[Strophe]
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.
[Strophe]
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.
[Strophe]
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.
