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 Em7 Am7 D


VERSE:
    G
Well I had this old guitar I found
     C         G
In this second hand music shop
           Em
Well I gave it to a friend one night
Am               D D
After he`d lost one hell of a lot


PRE-CHORUS:
  C
I said `go write a song to sing`
G             C C
As you travel down lifes road
  G      Em7
As music as you travel
    Am     D    G Em7 Am7 D
Always lightens up your load


VERSE:
   G
Well I miss that old guitar a lot
       C        G
You know it had the sweetest tone
        Em
But I loved my friend a lot
    Am          D D
Didn`t want to see him all alone


PRE-CHORUS:
     C
When you give something away you love
    G            C C
How it means much more when you do
  G        Em
And as you look back on your life
    Am   D    G Em Am7 D
Those moments defined you


CHORUS:
    C
And you only get one life to live
     G
So go on live it with a flair
Am7         D
Try to be a positive
  G     Am   G
Occasionally take it there

C                 G
 And a smile can lift the darkest hours
     C  C
But be aware
    G   D    Em   Em7
Some chances come your way but once
   Am   D    G Em7 Am7 D
Then vanish in thin air


VERSE:
     G
Well my goodness how the years have flown
 C          G
And robbed me of my youth
    Em
But my friends and memories
   Am7      D  D
Stand out as living proof


PRE-CHORUS:
     C
That the loving is that pass through us like
 G            C  C
Brush strokes through the heart
 G        Em7    Am  D    G G
Are woven in the fabric of everything we are


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

 C
And if true love should find you friend
    G
Pull it in
     C C
Hold it close
       G    D     Em
`Cause it`s little things like wedding rings
   Am    D    G  G Am7 D
That sometimes mean the most


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