C             G               Am     Em 
 This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
F                       G               C  G/B  Am7 Am7/G
 it showed me how to laugh and how to  cry.
         F                 G
It intro-duced me to some friends of mine 
    C        G/B        Am7 Am7/G
and brightened up my days
     F                    G              C  G/B   Am7
and helped me make it thrugh some lonely nights. Oh.
Am7/G   F                  G                   C  G/B Am7 Am7/G F G6sus4 
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night


C              G                Am    Em
 This old guitar gave me my love-ly lady
   F               G              C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G
it opened up her eyes and ears to me
   F                    G
it brought us close together
      C        G/B            Am7 Am7/G
and I guess it broke her  heart
    F               G               C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G
it  opened up the space for us to be
       F                  G                 C  G/B Am7 Am7/G F G6sus4 
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  G/B  Am7  Am7/G
 all the things you know I love to do
   F            G
to serenade the stars that shine
       C     G/B           Am7  Am7/G
from a sunny mountain-side
    F                  G                 C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G
and most of all to sing my  songs for you
F          G                    C 
 I love to sing these songs for you. 

G/B    Am7      Am7/G      F         G                 C    G/B Am7 Am7/G
Yes I do, you know     and I love to sing my songs for you

   F  G  C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G    F  G  C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G
   F  G  C  G/B  Am7  Am7/G    F  G6sus4  C
