G A D Dsus2 D Em Bm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Verse 1:
G A D Dsus2 D
Just an old guitar swinging in the window of a five and dime
Em Bm A Asus2 A
And I knew we'd be together for the rest of time
G A D Dsus2 D
So I ran home and begged for my money
Em Bm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
From my folks to set it free
G A D Dsus2 D
There's a feeling in this world I can't describe
Em7 Bm A Asus2 A
Only the Lord knows how it feels to fly
G A D Dsus2 D
And when that guitar hit my hand
Bm G A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
It was fine you understand
G A D Dsus2 D
Runnin around thinking it seems
Em Bm A Asus2 A
The story of that old guitar and me
G A D Dsus2 D
Oh so easy and inspired
Bm G A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Wood and glue, steel and wire
Chorus:
G A D D
Now, I hope this old guitar.... song
G A D D
The one that kept me holding on
Bm G A A
On the ride you hear that sound
G A D D
My old friend won't let you down
G A
My old friend won't let you down
Instrumental:
G A D Dsus2 D Em Bm A Asus2 A Asus4 A
Verse 2:
G A D Dsus2 D
Think back now to those younger days
Em Bm A Asus2 A
Dreamed to stand in the lights of the stage
G A D Dsus2 D
Got a closet full of worn out shoes
Bm G A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Doin' just what I said I'd do
G A D Dsus2 D
Some day I will turn to dust
Em Bm A Asus2 A
Sure these old strings turn to rust
G A D Dsus2 D
And I trust my band will break
Bm G A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Another set of hands to make this old girl sing
Chorus:
G A D D
Now, I hope this old guitar.... song
G A D D
The one that kept me holding on
Bm G A A
On the ride you hear that sound
G A D D
My old friend won't let you down
G A
My old friend won't let you down
