lyrics

THIS OLD HOUSE 2018 K MITCHELL
Em G
UNDER A BIG OLE SKY
D C
A HOUSE LOST IN TIME
Em G
AND A ROAD THAT NEVER ENDS
Em D C
WITH IT'S DREAMS JUST AROUND THE BEND

A DOORWAY WITHOUT A DOOR
ECHOES OF FOOTSTEPS ON THE FLOOR
BUILT BY A FARMERS HANDS
WITH DREAMS OF LIVING ON THE LAND
C D
CH THIS OLD HOUSE WAS A HOME
G C
WITH A FIRE TO KEEP OUT THE COLD
C D
THIS OLD HOUSE SITS ALONE
Em D C
BUT FOR THE WIND THE WEEDS AND THE BONES

IF THESE WALLS COULD SPEAK AGAIN
ABOUT THE YEARS OF THE LAUGHTER AND THE PAIN
ABOUT PLANS AND PROMISES MADE
NOW RESTING IN THEIR PRAIRIE GRAVES

CH

UNDER A BIG OLE SKY
I TURN NOW TO SAY MY GOOD BYES
I'M ON THAT ROAD THAT NEVER ENDS
WITH IT'S DREAMS JUST AROUND THE BEND

His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
