Chords for Gerry Guthrie - The Old Guitar (Official Music Video)

_ [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
