Lyrics
This Old Guitar © 2007 Teddie Cochran I was born in a wood shop Back in 1962 My father Luthier Ferguson Was handy with his tools My neck is straight and polished Although faded from the years I still sing to the ladies Quite pleasant to their ear Chorus I've shared the stage with Elvis On the Grand old Opere I've traveled with Emmylou Harris Across this vast country I've rocked with Tom Petty Just to name a few Touch your fingers to my strings This old guitar will sing for you Even though my voice has mellowed As my body shows its wear I've had some wild parties Back in my college years I still sing the love songs And rock the house with cheers I can raise your expectation Or make you shed a tear Repeat Chorus From the time I left home in Bozeman My doves have flown afar My coat of black and gold leaf Have faded from the bars I've shared the joys and sorrows My tunesmiths have all earned I love all the memories My fret board has endured Repeat Chorus Bridge: With darkness all around me Paul Kossoff I can hear As for this old guitar Retirement's a nightmare! Repeat Chorus Touch your fingers to my strings This old guitar is for you Spoken Tag Hey…. take me out of this closet I'd do the same for you I'm gettin' Claustrophobia in here Somebody put me on a tour bus Before I put a Capo around my neck!
