[Intro]
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
