[F] [C] [F]
It lay in my grandma's front room for over 30 years
And every time she looked at it in her eyes she [C] felt the tears
[F] As she thought about her young boy [A#] all those [F] years ago
Who left his guitar behind him [C] and his family [F] in the mail
I must have been a boy six [A#] when I held that [F] old guitar
It didn't matter that it had no strings, I took it [C] everywhere
The [F] other day I wrote to Santa, [A#] just a little [F] note to say
Would he bring me my own guitar [C] that I might [F] learn to play
[A#] It was just an old beat-up [F] guitar it lay in that front room
I never met the boy he wanted, never heard him [C] play a tune
[F] But my mother often told me [A#] on the Bible she would swear
[F] He got your love of music [C] from that [F] old guitar
As [C#]
[F#] I grew up I learned to play [B] like my heroes from [F#] back then
Like Marvin, Dwayne, Eddie and the rhinestone [C#] cowboy Glenn
With [F#] all my school days at an end [B] I took the [F#] books away
And I hit the road with my guitar [C#] and a million [F#] tunes to play
[B] It was just an old beat-up guitar [F#] it lay in that front room
I never met the boy he wanted, never heard him [A#m] play a tune
[F#] But my mother often told me [B] on the Bible she would swear
[F#] He got your love of music [C#] from that old [F#] guitar
[D#m] I owe a lot to the man above [B] for bringing me this far
[F#] To my friends and family you all know [C#] who you are
[A#m] But the one I owe the most to, [B] a debt I can't repay
[F#] Is the boy who lent me his guitar [C#] when he [F#] went away
[B] It was just an old beat-up guitar [F#] it lay in that front room
I never met the boy he wanted, never heard him play [A#m] a tune
[F#] But my mother often told me [B] on the Bible she would swear
[F#] He got your love of music [C#] from that old [F#] guitar
[B]
Yeah [F#] I got my love of music [C#] from that old [F#] guitar
[C] There's a new moon [F] over my shoulder
[G] And an old love [C] still in my heart
I remember [F] now that I'm older
[G] What you told me the day we had to
It lay in my grandma's front room for over 30 years
And every time she looked at it in her eyes she [C] felt the tears
[F] As she thought about her young boy [A#] all those [F] years ago
Who left his guitar behind him [C] and his family [F] in the mail
