D
There's an old, old house
G D
that once was a man- sion
G A
On a hill overlooking the town
G
But (D time has left a wreck- age)
D
Where once there was beauty
A D
And soon the old house will tumble down
G D
But when the leaves start to fall in autumn
G D
And the raindrops drip from the trees
A
There's an old old man
D
Who walks in the garden
G A D
And his head is bowed in memories
G D
They say he built the mansion for the love of a woman
G A
They planned to be married in the fall
D D D
But her love for him faded in the last days of summer
A D
And the house stands empty after all
