The Old House Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Lonely [D]I wander through scenes
[E]of [C]my [Em]childhood
They bring back to memory the
[E]happy days [C#m]of yore[Bbm][E]
[Em]Gone [Bm]are t[D]he old f[Bbm]olk,
[Em]the house stands deser[E]ted[Em]
[B]No light [E]in the win[Bbm]dow,
no welcome [E]at the door[Fm][E]
Here's [D]where the children

[Verse 2]
played games [E]on the heather
Here's [B]where they [E]sailed their
[Fm]wee boats [Bbm]on the bur[D]n[E]
[D#m]Where are [E]they [C#m]now? Some [Bm]are dead,
some [E]have wandered
No [Bbm]more t[E]o their home w[Bbm]ill the
[Fm]chil[Bbm]dren r[E]eturn

[Verse 3]
Lonely [Bbm]the house [D#m]now,
[C#m]an d lonely the moorlan[E]d[D]
[E]The childre[C#m]n have scattered,
[D]the[C#] old folk are gon[D]e[E]
Why stand I [D]here, like [Bm]a
[Bbm]ghost [C#]or a[Bbm] shadow?
Tis time I was movin',
tis [D]time I [Bm]passe[D]d [E]on.[D]
