D D This old guitar ain't mine to keep Cadd9 G6 Just taking care of it now D D It's been around for years and years Cadd9 G6 Just waiting in its old case D D It's been up and down the country roads Cadd9 G6 It's brought a tear and a smile D D It's seen its share of dreams and hopes Cadd9 G6 And never went out of style D D The more I play it, the better it sounds Cadd9 G6 It cries when I leave it alone D D Silently it waits for me Cadd9 G6 Or someone else I suppose D D This old guitar Cadd9 G6 This old guitar D G6 This old guitar Cadd9 G6
