{c:Intro}
[/] [C]  [/] [Dm]  [/] [G]  [/] [G]  [/] 
[/] [C]  [/] [Dm]  [/] [G]  [/] [G]  [/] 
[/] [Cmaj7] [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [F]  [/] [F]  [/]  
[/] [C] [/] [C] [/] [G] [/] [G]  [/]


[/] [C] We had an a- [/] [Dm] partment in the [/] [G] city [/] [G]  [/]
[/] [C] Me and Lo- [/] [Dm] retta liked livin’ [/] [G] there [/] [G]  [/]
[/] [Cmaj7] Well it’s been [/] years, since the [/] [F] kids had grown [/] [F] 
A life [/] [C] of their own [/] [C] 
Left [/] [G] us alone [/] [G] 


[/] [C] John and [/] [Dm] Linda live in [/] [G] Omaha [/] [G]  [/]
[/] [C] And Joe is [/] [Dm] somewhere on the [/] [G] road [/] [G]  [/]
[/] [Cmaj7] We lost [/] Davy in the Ko- [/] [F] rean war [/] [F] 
And I still don't [/] [C] know what for [/] [C] 
Don't matter [/] [G] anymore [/] [G] 


{soc}
[/] [Bb] You know that [/] old trees just grow [/] [C] stronger [/] [C] 
And old [/] [Bb] rivers, grow [/] wilder every [/] [C] day [/] [C] 
[/] [Em] Old [/] people just grow [/] [F] lonesome [/] [F] 
Waitin’ for [/] [C] someone to say [/] [C] 
Hel- [/] [G] lo in there... [/] ... hel- [/] [C↓] lo...

{c:Instrumental}
[/] [C]  [/] [Dm]  [/] [G]  [/] [G]  [/] 
[/] [C]  [/] [Dm]  [/] [G]  [/] [G]  [/] 
[/] [Cmaj7] [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [F]  [/] [F]  [/]  
[/] [C] [/] [C] [/] [G] [/] [G]  [/]
 

[/] [C] Me and Lo- [/] [Dm] retta, we don't [/] [G] talk much more [/] [G] 
[/] [C] She sits and [/] [Dm] stares through the backdoor [/] [G] screen [/] [G] 
[/] [Cmaj7] And all the [/] news just re- [/] [F] peats itself [/] [F] 
Like some for- [/] [C] gotten dream [/] [C] 
That [/] [G] we've both seen [/] [G] 


[/] [C] Someday I'll [/] [Dm] go and call up [/] [G] Rudy [/] [G] 
[/] [C] We worked to- [/] [Dm] gether at the facto- [/] [G] ry [/] [G] 
[/] [Cmaj7] But what could I [/] say, if he [/] [F] asks what's new? [/] [F] 
"Nothin’ [/] [C] what's with you [/] [C] 
Nothin’ [/] [G] much to do" [/] [G] 


{soc}
[/] [Bb] You know that [/] old trees just grow [/] [C] stronger [/] [C] 
And old [/] [Bb] rivers, grow [/] wilder every [/] [C] day [/] [C] 
[/] [Em] Old [/] people just grow [/] [F] lonesome [/] [F] 
Waitin’ for [/] [C] someone to say [/] [C] 
Hel- [/] [G] lo in there... [/] ... hel- [/] [C↓] lo...
{eoc}


[/] [C] So if you're [/] [Dm] walkin’ down the [/] [G] street sometime [/] [G] 
[/] [C] And spot some [/] [Dm] hollow ancient [/] [G] eyes [/] [G] 
[/] [Cmaj7] Please don't [/] just, pass them [/] [F] by and stare [/] [F] 
As if you [/] [C] didn't care [/] [C] 
Say hel- [/] [G] lo in there... [/] ... hel- [/] [C↓] lo...
