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*

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
