That Old Spanish Guitar

That old Spanish guitar

That old Spanish guitar

Was the first thing I ever played

That old Spanish guitar

Got it for Christmas in '73

Opened the world of music to me

That old Spanish guitar

That old Spanish guitar

My brother's hand me down

Was that old Spanish guitar

Sat in my bedroom for day after day

But 'Love Like A Man' was all I could play

That old Spanish guitar

That old Spanish guitar

Was the first thing I ever played

That old Spanish guitar

A few chord shapes were finally found

Great for me but not a beautiful sound

That old Spanish guitar

That old Spanish guitar

Became my constant companion

That old Spanish guitar

Eventually the work turned into fun

By now, I had 'House of the Rising Sun

That old Spanish guitar

That old Spanish guitar

Was the first thing I ever played

That old Spanish guitar

Got it for Christmas in '73

Opened the world of music to me
