NOTE: This type of song isn`t as easy to play along to since he is speaking the words
   instead of singing them. The best way to learn this song is to get into a rhythm
   with the guitar first. After getting the flow of the guitar then you can try
   speaking the words while playing.

INTRO:
G+G E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7 D MajorD
G+G E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7 D MajorD

VERSE:
    G+G
Well I had this old guitar I found
     C majorC         G+G
In this second hand music shop
           E minorEm
Well I gave it to a friend one night
A minorAm               D MajorD D MajorD
After he`d lost one hell of a lot


PRE-CHORUS:
  C majorC
I said `go write a song to sing`
G+G             C majorC C majorC
As you travel down lifes road
  G+G      E minor 7Em7
As music as you travel
    A minorAm     D MajorD    G+G E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7 D MajorD
Always lightens up your load


VERSE:
   G+G
Well I miss that old guitar a lot
       C majorC        G+G
You know it had the sweetest tone
        E minorEm
But I loved my friend a lot
    A minorAm          D MajorD D MajorD
Didn`t want to see him all alone

PRE-CHORUS:
     C majorC
When you give something away you love
    G+G            C majorC C majorC
How it means much more when you do
  G+G        E minorEm
And as you look back on your life
    A minorAm   D MajorD    G+G E minorEm Am7Am7 D MajorD
Those moments defined you


CHORUS:
    C majorC
And you only get one life to live
     G+G
So go on live it with a flair
Am7Am7         D MajorD
Try to be a positive
  G+G     A minorAm   G+G
Occasionally take it there

C majorC                 G+G
 And a smile can lift the darkest hours
     C majorC  C majorC
But be aware
    G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm   E minor 7Em7
Some chances come your way but once
   A minorAm   D MajorD    G+G E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7 D MajorD
Then vanish in thin air


VERSE:
     G+G
Well my goodness how the years have flown
 C majorC          G+G
And robbed me of my youth
    E minorEm
But my friends and memories
   Am7Am7      D MajorD  D MajorD
Stand out as living proof


PRE-CHORUS:
     C majorC
That the loving is that pass through us like
 G+G            C majorC  C majorC
Brush strokes through the heart
 G+G        E minor 7Em7    A minorAm  D MajorD    G+G G+G
Are woven in the fabric of everything we are


CHORUS:
    C majorC
And you only get one life to live
G+G
 So live it with a flair
A minorAm        D MajorD
Try to be a positive
  G+G
And occasionally take that dare

 C majorC
And if true love should find you friend
    G+G
Pull it in
     C majorC C majorC
Hold it close
       G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
`Cause it`s little things like wedding rings
   A minorAm    D MajorD    G+G  G+G Am7Am7 D MajorD
That sometimes mean the most


OUTRO:
G+G
I had this old guitar I found
   C majorC         G+G
In a second hand music shop.
