VERSE:

D*                                   D*

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

                       Gx    Ax

Just takin' care of it now

D*                                   D*

It's been around for years and years

                        Gx   

Just waitin' in its old case



D*                                       D*

It's been up and down the country roads

                          Gx    Ax

It's brought a tear and a smile

D*                                       D*

It's seen it's share of dreams and hopes

                     Gx

It never went out of style



D*                                        D*

The more I play it, the better it sounds

                         Gx     Ax

It cries when I leave it alone

D*                         D*

Silently, it waits for me

                  Gx     

Or someone else I suppose



D*               D*

This old guitar

         Gx     Ax

This old guitar

D*              Gx

This old guitar

D*                                     D*

This old guitar has caught some breaks

                            Gx    Ax

But it's never searched for gold

D*                                  D*

It can't be blamed for my mistakes

                       Gx

It only does what it's told



D*                                        D*

It's been a messenger in times of trouble

                     Gx    Ax

In times of hope and fear

D*                                  D*

When I get drunk and seein' double

                              Gx

It jumps behind the wheel and steers



D*                                  D*

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

                      Gx      Ax

It's mine to play for awhile

D*                                  D*

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

                   Gx

It's only mine for awhile



D*              D*

This old guitar

         Gx     Ax
