[chorus]
                      A      D
I’m gonna lay down my old guitar
                  G      D
Gonna lay down my old guitar
                  G      D
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
             A         D
And take it along with me

[verse 1]
                  A       D
There’s no one to cry for me
                  G       D
There’s no one to cry for me
               G      D
I’ve wandered away so far away don’t you see
                      A       D
And there’s no one to cry for me

[verse 2]
              A        D
I’m sick in a lonesome bed
              G        D
I’m sick in a lonesome bed
                  G       D
There’s no one to hold my aching head
                  A        D
And I’m sick in a lonesome bed

[chorus]
                      A      D
I’m gonna lay down my old guitar
                  G      D
Gonna lay down my old guitar
                  G      D
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
             A         D
And take it along with me

[verse 3]
                A         D
I’m telling the world goodbye
                G         D
I’m telling the world goodbye
                G            D
I’m telling the world and my dear little girl
                 A       D
I’m telling them all goodbye

Gonna lay down my old guitar
                  G      D
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
             A         D
And take it along with me
