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


PD-C HORUS:
   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


PD-C HORUS:
          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


PD-C HORUS:
          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
