The house where [D] she used to [C] live, _ _
_ [Am] _ _ it ain't there [Dm] no more.

Been to down a [D] long time, _ _ _

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Am] _ She used to come [D] up to a window _ [Am] and _ _ _ slowly pull [D] up the blind.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] Then [G] she'd take in the midnight [E] air. _
[Am] _ _ The [D] years can't erase this from [A] my mind.
_ She _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
would play [D] that song on her record machine.

_ _ _ _ _ [Am]
I would listen and [Dm] watch her dance.

_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Well, her [Am] father _ _ [Dm] was an evil man.
_ [Am] _ _
_ _ Came home drunk and [D] killed her in her bed.
_ _ [Em] _ [Am] He threw her body [Gm] down in the river [Dm] there.
_ _ [Em] _ _
[Am] And he hung himself [D] _ dead.
I [C] _ _ [A] _ _ was too [D] young then and it's too late [A] now. _ _
_ [Am] That's just the [G] way things [D] are. _
_ _ _ [Am] But with that girl [D] dead and gone,
_ _ [Em] _ [A] there's no reason to go [D] back to Lamar, [Am] Mississippi.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ _ [Am]
You know, it got [D] too deep.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ I was just [D] a young boy then, _ [Em] _ _ [Am] scared to [D] go to sleep.
_ [Am] _
The house where she used to live, _ [D] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
it just [D] ain't there _ _ [A] no more.
