Gonna Lay Down My Old Guitar

This is one that I would like to tinker around with and learn some easy licks.  I like Doc Watson's rendition of it.

G    D7    G
Gonna lay down my     old guitar
     D7
Gonna lay down my old guitar
     G
Oh I     wish I could tie it to my side
     D7    G
And take it along with me
     D7    G
There's no one to cry for me
     D7
There's no one to cry for me
     G
I've wandered away so far don't you see
     D7    G
And there's no one to cry for me
     D7    G
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
     D7
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
     G
There's no one to hold my aching head
     D7    G
And I'm sick in a lonesome bed
Repeat #1
     D7    G
I'm telling this world good bye
     D7
I'm telling this world good bye
     G
I'm telling the world and my dear little girl
     D7    G
I'll soon tell them all good bye
