D                                

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

D                         G  A 

Just taking care of it now

D 				   

It's been around for years and years

D                           G  A

Just waiting in its old case

D 				      

It's been up and down the country roads

D	            	        	       G  A	

It's brought a tear and a smile

D                                    

It's seen its share of dreams and hopes

D		                     	   G  A

And never went out of style

D                                      

The more I play it, the better it sounds

D                             G  A

It cries when I leave it alone

D                      

Silently it waits for me

D	                     		 G  A

Or someone else I suppose







D               G  A          

This old guitar

D               G  A

This old guitar

D               G  A

This old guitar

D				     

This old guitar has caught some breaks

D                             G  A

But it never searched for gold

D				         

It can't be blamed for my mistakes

D                          G  A

It only does what it's told

D					        

It's been a messenger in times of trouble

D		          	            G  A			

In times of hope and fear

D					 

When I get drunk and seeing double

D                                   G  A

It jumps behind the wheel and steers

D                                            

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

D                            G  A

It's mine to play for a while

D				       

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

D                          G  A

It's only mine for a while
