Country House Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

D B A G D A

 In a Dcountry house with the wiBndows lit by burAning wicks

 And theG walls held up by Dwood and bricks and ghosts that wander Athrough

An old man died, but the help won't come till Monday next

And he's gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew

Chorus

GAnd he'sD lonesomAe

And he's lonesome

Verse

DAnd the BfaAmiGly Dmourned,A at the wake he lay in front of them

Just as silent as he'd ever been to any young child's eyes

And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears

The pain of all those early years where innocence had died

Chorus

GBut now Dthey're Alonesome

Yes they're lonesome

 Verse/Bridge: G D Bm A

Memorials that we may build

They won't the holes forever fill

There is a deep and aching chill

That settles in our bones

In our bones

Chorus

G'Cause wDe're lonAesome

(Did you ever love somebody?

Did you ever lose someone?)

'Cause we're lonesome

Outro

 In aD country house with the wiBndows all litA up
