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 has caught some breaks

Cadd9 G6

But it never searched for gold

D D

It can't be blamed for my mistakes

Cadd9

It only does what it's told

D D

It's been a messenger in times of trouble

Cadd9 D

In times of hope and fear

D D

When I get drunk and seeing double

Cadd9

It jumps behind the wheel and steers

D D

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

Cadd9 G6

It's mine to play for a while

D D

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

Cadd9 G6

It's only mine for a while
