I knew this [E] place, I knew it [D] well, every [A] sound and every [D] smell.
[A] And every time I walked I [D] fell for the first two [E] years or [A] so.
And there [E] across the grassy [D] yard I, a young [A] boy running hard, [D] brown and [A] bruised and battle
[D] scarred and [E] lost in [A] sweet illusion.
From my [E] window I can [D] see the fingers [A] of an ancient [D] tree.
Reaching [A] out it calls to [D] me to climb its [E] early branches.
[A] But all my [E] climbing days are gone and [D] these tired [A] legs I'm standing on
[D] would scarcely [A] dare to leave the spot upon which they are standing.
[E] And I remember [F#m] every word [D] from every voice [A] I ever [D] heard.
And every [A] frog and every bird, [D] yes, [Bm] this is where [E] it starts.
[A] Our brothers laugh, [E] the sighing wind, [D] this is where [A] my life begins.
[D] This is where [A] I learn to use my hands and hear my heart.
[D] [A]
[D] [A] [D] [A]
This house is old, [E] it carries [F#m] on [D] like lyrics to [A] an old time song.
[D] Always [A] changed but never gone, [D] this house can stand [E] the seasons.
[A] And our lives pass [E] on from door to [D] door, dust [A] across the wooden floor.
[D] Feather [A] rain and thunder roar, [D] we need [A] not know the reason.
[E] And all these thoughts come [F#m] back to [D] me like ships [A] across a friendly sea.
[D] [A] Like breezes blowing endlessly, [D] like rivers [E] running deep.
[A] The day is [E] done, the lights are [D] low, the wheels of [A] life are turning [D] slow.
And as [A] these visions turn and [D] go, I [A] lay me down to sleep.
And I knew this [E] place, I knew it [D] well, every [A] sound and every [D] smell.
And every [A] time I walked, I [D] fell for the first two [E] years or so.
[A] The day is [E] done, the lights are [D] low, the wheels [A] of life are turning [D] slow.
And as these visions [A] turn and [D] go, I [E] lay me [A] down to sleep.
