The Old Old House

G                             C  
There's an old old house that 
        G
once was a mansion
                          D7
On a hill overlooking the town
    G                           
But time has left wreckage where 
 C              G
once there was beauty
                 D7                
And soon the old house will tumble 
G
down

    D7                       C    
But when the leaves start to fall 
   G
in autumn

        D7             C          
And the rain starts to drip from 
   G
the trees
                           C    
There's an old old man who walks 
             G
through the garden
                D7           G
And his head is bowed in memory

They say he built the mansion 
C            G
because of a woman
And they planned to be married in 
    D7
the fall
    G                        C    
But her love withered in the last 
        G
days of summer
                    D7          G
And the house stood empty after all
