Verse 2

Dsus2

It's been up and down the country roads

A7sus4

It's brought a tear and a smile

Dsus2

It's seen its share of dreams and hopes

And never went out of style

Verse 3

Dsus2

The more I play it, the better it sounds

A7sus4

It cries when I leave it alone

Dsus2

Silently it waits for me

Or someone else I suppose

Interlude 1

Dsus2

Verse 4

Dsus2

This old guitar has caught some breaks

A7sus4

But it never searched for gold

Dsus2

It can't be blamed for my mistakes

It only does what it's told

Verse 5

Dsus2

It's been a messenger in times of trouble

A7sus4

In times of hope and fear

Dsus2

When I get drunk and seeing double

It jumps behind the wheel and steers

Verse 6

Dsus2

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

A7sus4

It's mine to play for a while

Dsus2

This old guitar ain't mine to keep

It's only mine for a while

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
