George Jones – The Old Old House (Guitar)

D
There's an old, old house

     G               D
that once was a man- sion

     G                    A
On a hill overlooking the town

                              G
But (D time has left a wreck- age

      D
Where once there was beauty

                 A                 D
And soon the old house will tumble down

                             G       D
But when the leaves start to fall in autumn

                  G             D
And the raindrops drip from the trees

                   A
There's an old old man

                 D
Who walks in the garden

        G       A        D
And his head is bowed in memories

                      G                         D
They say he built the mansion for the love of a woman

                   G              A
They planned to be married in the fall

        D            D                         D
But her love for him faded in the last days of summer

                     A           D
And the house stands empty after all
