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
