Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The house stood empty on [C]a cor[G]ner
Waiting for a [C]brand new [G]owner
A soldier [C]off to [G]war who had to
leave his [D]bride alone
She couldn't [G]buy too [C]many [G]nice things On

[Verse 2]
a GI [C]bill and [G]daydreams
But she tried un[C]til they [G]told her
He was [D]never coming [G]home
Small two [C]bedroom [G]starter

[Verse 3]
Needs [C]a little f[G]ixing
A great big [C]yard for [G]kids
and pets to [D]play
[G]This one [C]won't last [G]too long
It's close to [C]schools and [G]churches
Owner [C]leaving [G]town
You better [D]hurry down [G]today[A]
Bought by the [D]high school

[Verse 4]
[A]teacher
Sold it to a [D]baptist [A]preacher
Who couldn't [D]pay his [A]taxes
Cause his flock had [E]gone astray
So the [A]banker [D]fenced the [A]yard in
Planted trees and [D]half a [A]garden
The man from [D]Dallas [A]kept it up
[E]Till he moved [A]away
Small two [D]bedroom

[Verse 5]
[A]starter
Needs a [D]little [A]fixing
A great big [D]yard for [A]kids
and pets to [E]play
[A]This one [D]won't last [A]too long
It's close to [D]schools and [A]churches
Owner [D]leaving [A]town
You better [E]hurry down [A]today[Bb]

[Verse 6]
You and I we [Eb]built the play[Bb]room
For the baby [Eb]that came [Bb]too soon
Spent money [Eb]that we [Bb]didn't have
Trying to make this place our [F]own

[Verse 7]
Lord it [Bb]makes me [Eb]feel like dy[Bb]ing
After all these [Eb]years of [Bb]try ing
Honey we'll just [Eb]bought this
[Bb]house
That we can't [F]seem
to make a [Bb]home

[Verse 8]
Small two [Eb]bedroom [Bb]starter
Needs a [Eb]little [Bb]fixing
A great big [Eb]yard for [Bb]kids
and pets to [F]play
[Bb]This one [Eb]won't last [Bb]too long
It's close to [Eb]schools and [Bb]churches
Owner [Eb]leaving [Bb]town
You better [F]hurry down [Bb]today

Small two bedroom [Bb]starter
Waiting for a brand new owner
