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
