Introduction:
D A D
There are fifty liquor boxes in my hall
G D
And a hundred empty nails on my wall
Bm G
Thers a sign out in my yard reads for sale
D A
And if this old house could cry the tears would fall
D A D
There are bargain hungry vultures everywhere
D G D
Buying broken toys and old clothes and tubberware
Bm G
The phones has been taken out they've stopped the mail
D A
And if this old house could talk I'd say a prayer
D
I've been strong and I've been sturdy
G D
And I've weatherd every storm
D A
I've always kept your family safe and warm
D
Now your packing up the laughter
G
And your sweeping out the tears
D
If this old house were build on memories
Bm A
I would stand a 1000 years
D G
This old house this old house
D Bm A D
If this old house was buildt on memories I would stand a 1000 years
D A D
Take another look before you lock the door
G D
Where your shoes have worn the finish from my floor
Bm G
Listen to my banging pipers my creaking stairs
D A
Let your boys slide down my banister once more
D A D
I'll remember where you hid the extra key
G D
Where the hammer and the bandaids use to be
Bm G
I will smell your morning coffee in the air
D A
And I'll see you hanging tinsel on the tree
D
I've been strong and I've been sturdy
G D
And I've weatherd every storm
D A
I've always kept your family safe and warm
D
Now your packing up the laughter
G
And your sweeping out the tears
D
If this old house were build on memories
Bm A
I would stand a 1000 years
D G
This old house this old house
D Bm A D
If this old house was buildt on memories I would stand a 1000 years
