My guitar is a song with lyrics by Thore Skogman . The melody was originally called Guldgrävarsången and was included in Lapp-Lisa's repertoire. "My guitar" was added when Sven-Ingvars needed a backing for the single " Fröken Fräken " in 1964 . It is said that Thore wrote the text in a quarter of an hour. It has become something of a signature tune for Sven-Ingvars. The tune was on the Svensktoppen for 17 weeks during the period 28 November 1964 . - 27 March 1965 , and was, among other things, number one. The single sold gold.

The backing track for Min gitarr came from Roger Paulssons Dansbandslåtar Vol 5. https://sites.google.com/view/backtra...

lyrics
I have had the guitar since I was a little boy
Gitarren ha ja haft sen liten grabb ja var

They are my very best treasure and I want to keep them
De är min allra bästa skatt å den vill ja ha kvar

Yes my guitar yes my guitar
Ja min gitarr ja min gitarr
With each passing day I have caressed the strings
För varje dag som gått jag strängarna har smekt

And happy melodies on the guitar I played
Och glada melodier på gitarren fram jag lekt

On my guitar yes my guitar
På min gitarr ja min gitarr
Yes my guitar a faithful friend
Ja min gitarr en trogen vän

As I have had for a long time
Som jag har haft sedan länge sen

Its brittle tone is not bizarre
Dess spröda ton är ej bisarr

But there is joy in my guitar
Men det finns glädje i min gitarr
The guitar is my everything the guitar is my support
Gitarren är mitt allt gitarren är mitt stöd

It does not give much money, no more than daily bread
Den ger ej mycket pengar inte mer än dagligt bröd

Yes my guitar yes my guitar
Ja min gitarr ja min gitarr
The old one is worn and not beautiful at all
Den gammal är och nött och inte vacker alls

But it's nice to put your fingers around its neck
Men d är skönt att lägga sina fingrar om dess hals

Oh my guitar yes my guitar
Å min gitarr ja min gitarr
Yes my guitar a faithful friend
Ja min gitarr en trogen vän

As I have had for a long time
Som jag har haft sedan länge sen

Its brittle tone is not bizarre
Dess spröda ton är ej bisarr

But there is joy in my guitar
Men det finns glädje i min gitarr
With each passing day I have caressed the strings
För varje dag som gått jag strängarna har smekt

And happy melodies on the guitar I played
Och glada melodier på gitarren fram jag lekt

On my guitar yes my guitar
På min gitarr ja min gitarr
Yes my guitar a faithful friend
Ja min gitarr en trogen vän

As I have had for a long time
Som jag har haft sedan länge sen

Its brittle tone is not bizarre
Dess spröda ton är ej bisarr

But there is joy in my guitar
Men det finns glädje i min gitarr
