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
