This Old Guitar - alternate take

This old guitar taught me to sing a lovesong

Showed me how to laugh and how to cry

It introduced me to some friends of mine

And brightened up some days

It helped me make it through some lonely nights, whoa

What a friend to have on a cold lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady

It opened up her eyes and ears to me

It brought us close together

I guess it broke her heart

But it opened up the space for us to be

What a lovely place, a lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living

All the things I know I love to do

To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountain side

But most of all to sing my songs for you, ooh

And I love to sing my songs for you, yes I do, you know

I love to sing my songs for you, ooh-ooh, mmm

Yes I do, yes I do
