1. This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
F G C GAAm/G
It showed me how to laugh and how to cry.
F G C G/B Am
It introduced me to some friends of mine, and brightened up some days,
F G C GAm Am/G
And helped me make it through some lonely nights. Oh
F G C GAAFGG
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night.

It opened up her eyes and ears to me.
F G C G/B Am
It brought us close together, I guess it broke her heart,

What a lovely place and a lovely space to be.

All the things you know I love to do.

To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountain side

And most of all to sing my songs for you.
