This Old Martin Guitar
Written By Charlie Maggard-Sung by Howell Osborne
A E A
I mortgaged my House and Sold my old car
D A
Went out and bought this old martin guitar
D A
It’s the same kind that Lester played on TV
E A
And I was sure it would make a star out of me
E A
I’ll never forget my first show date
D A
I had to hitchhike so I wound up late
D A
My favorite song was The Great Speckled Bird
E A
And I walked out on stage and forgot every word
E A E A
(chorus) So for sale this old Martin Guitar
D A
I could tell it won’t make me a star
D A
When I Bought it, I thought it, would take me far
D A
But for sale this old Martin guitar
A C G C
That old Martin Guitar was the joy of my Life
F C
Neglected my home, neglected my wife
F C
Last night she told me plain as could be
A G
Well Bill---It’s either that old Martin Guitar or ME
Chorus
C G C
So It’s for sale this old Martin Guitar
F C
I could tell it won’t make me a star
F C A
When I Bought it, I thought it, would take me far
C F C
But for sale this old Martin guitar
C F C
Its for sale this old martin guitar
