Old Old House

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
