This old [A] guitar taught me [Bm] to sing a [F#m] love song.

cry.
[A] [Bm]
[G] It introduced me to [A] some friends of [D] mine.
[A] Brightened up [Bm] some [F#m] days.

[Bm] Oh, [G] what a friend to have [A] on a cold and lonely [D] night.

[Bm]
[D] [G] It brought us close [A] together.
[D] I guess it [A] broke her [Bm]
heart.

[F#m] [G] To serenade [A] the stars that shine [D] from a sunny [A]
[Bm] mountainside.

Most of all [A] to sing my [D] songs for you.
