[Verse]
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
Dmaj7 D G A
Just taking care of it now
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
It's been around for years and years
Dmaj7 D G
Just waiting in its old case
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
It's been up and down the country roads
Dmaj7 D G A
It's brought a tear and a smile
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
It's seen its share of dreams and hopes
Dmaj7 D G
And never went out of style
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
The more I play it, the better it sounds
Dmaj7 D G A
It cries when I leave it alone
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
Silently it waits for me
Dmaj7 D G
Or someone else I suppose
[Chorus]
D D6/B Dmaj7 D D D6/B Dmaj7 D G A
This old guitar This old guitar

[Verse]
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
This old guitar has caught some breaks
Dmaj7 D G A
But it never searched for gold
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
It can't be blamed for my mistakes
Dmaj7 D G
It only does what it's told
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
It's been a messenger in times of trouble
Dmaj7 D G A
In times of hope and fear
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
When I get drunk and seeing double
Dmaj7 D G
It jumps behind the wheel and steers
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
Dmaj7 D G A
It's mine to play for a while
D D6/B Dmaj7 D6/B D D6/B
This old guitar ain't mine to keep
Dmaj7 D G
It's only mine for a while
[Chorus]
