Old Old House

George Jones

Written by Hal Bynum and George Jones

Key of D · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

                             G    D
But when the leaves start to fall in autumn
                    G            D
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
There’s an old old man who walks in the garden
        G    A        D
And his head is bowed in memories

Verse 3

                      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
