Intro: G

                      C    G
The house stood empty on a corner
              C         G
Waiting for a brand new owner
           C     G
A soldier off to war who had
                    D7
To leave his bride alone


             G       C    G
She couldn't buy too many nice things
        C        G
On a GI bill and daydreams
                C        G
But she tried until they told her
       D            G
He was never coming home


Chorus:
          C       G
Small two bedroom starter
        C      G
Needs a little fixing
            C        G                D7
A great big yard for kids and pets to play
G        C          G
This one won't last too long
              C           G
It's close to schools and churches
      D       G
Owner leaving town
           D            G       A
You better hurry down today

              D           A
Bought by the high school teacher
             D       A
Sold it to a Baptist preacher
             D       A
Who couldn't pay his taxes 
                           E
'Cause his flock had gone astray


       A      D          A
So the banker fenced the yard in
                  D      A
Planted trees and half a garden
             D      A
The man from Dallas kept it up
  E             A
Until he moved away

             D#        A#
You and I we built the playroom
             D#        A#
For the baby that came too soon
            D#      A#
Spent money that we didn't have
                              F
Trying to make this place our own


         A#       D#        A#
Lord, it makes me feel like dying
                D#       A#
After all these years of trying
                  D#        A#
Honey, we'll just lock this house
              F              A#
That we can't seem to make a home
