[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][Em]
[F][G][C][G][Am]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]This old guitar[G]
taught me to [Am]sing a [Em]love song
[F]It showed me how to lau[G]gh
and how to [C]cry[G][Am]
[G]It introduc[F]ed me to some fri[G]ends of mine
[C]And brightened [G]up some [Am]days[G]
It [F]helped me make it [G]through
some lonely [C]nights[G]
[Am]Oh, [G]what a fri[F]end to have
on a [G]cold and lonely [C]night[G][Am][G]
[F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]This old guitar[G]
gave me my [Am]lovely [Em]la dy
It [F]opened up her [G]eyes
and ears to [C]me[G][Am][G]
It [F]brought us close togeth[G]er
And I [C]guess it [G]broke her [Am]heart[G]
It [F]opened up the [G]space
for us to [C]be[G][Am][G]
What a [F]lovely place
and a [G]lovely space to [C]be[G][Am][G]
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]This old guitar[G]
gave me my [Am]life, my [Em]living
[F]All the things you kno[G]w
I love to [C]do[G][Am][G]
To [F]serenade the [G]stars that shine
From a [C]sunny [G]mountain[Am]side[G]
And [F]most of all
to [G]sing my songs for [C]you[G][Am][G]
[F]I love to sin[G]g my songs for you[C]
[G]Yes, I [Am]do, you k[G]now
[F]I love to sin[G]g my songs for you[C]
[G][Am][G]
