Just an old house with the roof fallin’ in
         G              D
Standin’ on the edge of the field
         G   G7              C          Cm
Watching the crops grow like its always done before

Nobody lives here anymore

Nobody lives here anymore

Old memories come whistling like the wind

Through the walls and the cracked window panes
        G        G7      C               Cm
And the grass is growing high around the kitchen door
       G     C    Em     D
Nobody lives here anymore

Once there were children and a few hired hands

A hard working woman and a bone tired man

Now that old sun steals across a dusty floor
       G     C    Em     D
Nobody lives here anymore
