Johnny Cash – Are All The Children In (Guitar)

D                                          A7
   When I'm alone, I often think of an old house on the hill

                                                         D
Of a big yard hedged in roses where we ran and played at will

                                      D7                      G
And when the nighttime brought us home, hushing our merry din

                                 D                          A7
Mother would look around and ask, "Are all the children in?"

D                                            A7
Well, it's been many a year now and the old house on the hill

                                                    D
No longer has my mother's care and the yard is still, so still

                                D7     G
But if I listen, I can hear it all, no matter how long it's been

   D                                       A7            D
I seem to hear my mother ask, "Are all the children in?"

D                                                A7
   And I wonder, when the curtain falls on that last earthly day

                                                        D
When we say goodbye to all of this, to our pain and work and play

                             D7                G
When we step across the river where mother so long has been

                  D                             A7
Will we hear her ask a final time, "Are all the children in?"

   D
