Here's the updated version (I noticed some errors already). This is a great song!
There aren't any tabs yet, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here's how I hear it.
Use a capo on the 2nd fret. Don't be too picky on hitting the right strings, it
will sound good anyway. Be expressive on the bass notes.  Email me if you notice
any errors.  Thanks and enjoy! Please RATE this tab.

1. This old guitar taught me to    sing a  love song
2. This old guitar gave me my love-ly      lady
3. This old guitar gave me my      life my living

   F                         G7          C
1. it showed me how to laugh and how to  cry.
2. it opened up her eyes     and ears to me
3. all the things you know   I love to   do

   a        F                   G
1. It intro-duced me to some friends of mine

3. to       serenade the     stars that shine

       C                      a
