This Old Guitar

C   G   Am   Em   F   G   C - G/B - Am - Am7/G   F   G6


C           G                Am     Em
This old guitar taught me to sing a love song,
F                G                    C - G/B - Am - Am7/G
Showed me how to laugh and how to cry.
        F                G                   C          G/B     Am   Am7/G
It introduced me to some friends of mine and brightened up some days,
F                        G            C  G/B  Am  Am7/G
Helped me make it through some lonely nights, oh,
       F                   G               C - G/B - Am - Am7/G   F   G6   C
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night.

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady.
It opened up her eyes and ears to me.
It brought us close together and I guess it broke her heart.
It opened up the space for us to be.
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be.

This old guitar gave me my life, my living,
All the things you know I love to do -
To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountainside,
And most of all, to sing my songs for you.
I love to sing my songs for you, yes I do, you know.
I love to sing my songs for you.
Mmm-mmm...

(Words and music by John Denver, 1974)
