Chords for This Old Guitar

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This guitar was made in 1910. _
It [F#] belonged to my grandmother.
It's the guitar that she played when she was a little girl.
_ And she gave it to me when I was about 12 years old.
And it's the guitar that I learned how to play on.
For a large part of my life, _ I think I had this guitar with me everywhere that I went.
_ I carried it on the farm back in Oklahoma and on wheat harvest.
_ I got hit over the head with it once in a lumber camp up in Washington State.
_ _ There's a crack right along here if you can see
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ it.
Anyway, about a _ little over five years ago, I lost the guitar.
And it was _ kind of a sad occasion to me.
And the strange thing is that just about the time that it got to be _ okay with me that I had lost it, _ I found it again. _ _
And this was last January when we were filming our last television special.
And I was, _ _ I can't really tell you how thrilled I was about getting it back.
I literally, _ I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel where I was staying at here in Los Angeles
and just sit down and be with the [C#] guitar again and _ play it, [Fm] you know. _ _
I did that.
I got back.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ I told it all that had happened to me since the last time I'd seen it. _ _ _
