Verse 2:

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
It opened up her eyes and ears to me
It brought us close together, and I guess it broke her heart
It opened up a space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

Verse 3:

This old guitar gave me my life, my living
All the things you know I love to do
To serenade the stars that shine from a sunny mountainside
And most of all to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you
