This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Capo 5.
G Am D7 D9 D7
We had an apartment in the city
G Am D7 D9 D7
Me and Loretta liked living there
Bm/D C/G
It's been years since the kids had grown
G D/F#
A life of their own left us alone
G Am D7 D9 D7
John and Linda live in Omaha
G Am D7 D9 D7
And Joe is somewhere on the road
Bm/D C/G
We lost Davy in the Korean war
G D/F#
And I atill don't know what for, don't matter anymore
F G
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger
F G
And old rivers grow wilder every day
Bm C
Old people just grow lonesome
G D G
Waiting for someone to say hello in there, hello
G Am D7 D9 D7
Me and Loretta we don't talk much more
G Am D7 D9 D7
She sits and stares through the back door screen
Bm/D C/G
And all the news just repeats itself
G D/F#
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
G Am D7 D9 D7
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
G Am D7 D9 D7
We worked together at the factory
Bm/D C/G
But what could I say if he asks what's new
G D/F#
Nothing, what's with you, nothing much to do
REPEAT CHORUS
G Am D7 D9 D7
So if you're walking down the street sometime
G Am D7 D9 D7
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Bm/D C/G
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
G D/F# G
As if you didn't care, say hello in there, hello
