House on Old Lonesome Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Every night
it's the same old plan
And I [G]leave work at five-o-five
[A]Bee[D]n Been Been doing my
best to forget about her
But she's [G]driving me out of my [A]mind

[Verse 2]
When [Bm]I get home,
I know what [F#m]I'll find
How I [G]wish that it wasn't [E]so
There'll [G]be no one [A]there
[D]to hold me tonight
[G]In that hou[D]se on old[A] lonesome roa[D]d

[Verse 3]
I [D]recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the pa[G]per be[A]fore we moved [D]in
And after we did our friends all asked
If that [G]house was lonesome back [A]then

[Verse 4]
[Bm]We were so young,
our [F#m]dream s were so new
There's just [G]no way that
we could have [Em]known[E]
The [G]irony [A]of the place where [D]we [G]loved
That [D]house on [A]old lonesome [D]road

[Verse 5]
[G]It's only shingles and shutters
And a [D]case of worn out stairs
[C]Just like my old [G]heart they need repair
[D]May[A]be [D]I s[G]hould sell it[A]
Yeah, [D]maybe that would be the best
[G]May[E]be then someone else could find
Some [Em]love at [G]that address
[Asus4]

[Verse 6]
[A]I use[D]d to love that
old house so [A]much
[G]Back before [A]she went [D]away
Now everything there is just
gathering dust
I should [G]clean it up if I'm gonna [A]stay

[Verse 7]
But [Bm]I don't have too
much [F#m]time anymore
I'm too [G]busy talking to ghosts
[Em]'Cau[E]se her mem[G]ory,
[A]keeps me compan[D]y
[G]In that hou[A]se on old lonesome roa[D]d

[Verse 8]
[G]It's only shingles and shutters
And a [D]case of worn out stairs
[C]Just like my old [G]heart they need re[D]pair
[G]Maybe I should [A]sell it
Yeah, [D]maybe that would be the best
[G]May[E]be then someone else could find
Some [Em]love at [G]that address
[A]

[Verse 9]
[D]Every night it's the same old plan
And I [G]leave work at [D]five-o-five
Been Been Been doing my best
to forget about her
But she's [G]driving me [A]out of my [D]mind
