This Old House

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
