[E] [B]
[E]
An old house is standing so [B] empty and [E] bare
With [B]
many sweet memories
[A] surrounding [B] it there
No paints in the windows, the [A]
door has no [B] lock
Oh, if [Em] only [B] that old house could [Em] talk
Where are the children that [B] ran by the [E] shore?
Their [B] sweet sound of laughter, we [A] hear it no [B] more
The schoolyard is empty [A] where kids used to [B] play
How the [E] years pass [B] so quickly [E] away
The old school still stands at [B] the top of the [E] hill
[B] It's bare, old and rusty [A] and silent [B] and still
Schoolroom by day, a [A] dance hall [B] by night
[E] How we danced till the [B] dawn's [E] early light
I gaze at the old house [B] and whisper [E] goodbye
As [B] I stand there alone, [A] there's a tear in [B] my eye
I feel a strange coldness, it [A]
chills to [B] the bone
As I [E] turn and slowly [B] walk from my [E] old [B] island [E] home
I pray that one day I'll [B] return once [E] again
To
[B] my island of memories, of [A] kinfolk [B] and friends
Where the sound of the fiddle [A] floats by on [B] the breeze
And a [E] sweet [B] mother's voice echoes way out [E] to sea
An old house is standing so [B] [Abm] empty [B] and [E]
bare
With [B] many sweet memories
[A] surrounding it [B]
there
No pins in the windows, the [A]
door has no [B] lock
Oh, [E] if only that [B] [Abm] old [B] house could [E]
talk
It [B] would tell of the good times [A] it's seen through the [B]
years
It would tell of the hardships, the [A] struggles and [B]
tears
Of the [E]
comforting [B] fire and [E] the chime of the [A] clock
Oh, [E] if only [B] that old house [E] could talk
