D/F#
[Verse 1]
We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
It'd been years since the kids had grown
A life of their own, and left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davy in the Korean war
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore
[Chorus]
F You know that old trees just grow Gstronger
And old Frivers grow wilder every day G
Bm Old people just grow Clonesome
Waiting for Gsomeone to say, "HelDlo in there, helGlo"
[Interlude]
G Am D7 G Am D7
Bm/D C G D/F#
[Verse 2]
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more
She sits and stares through the back door screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at the factory
But what could I say if he asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do"
[Chorus]
F You know that old trees just grow Gstronger
And old Frivers grow wilder every day G
Bm Old people just grow Clonesome
Waiting for Gsomeone to say, "HelDlo in there, helGlo"
[Outro]
G So if you're walkAming down the streetD7 sometime
G And spot some Amhollow ancient eyes D7
Bm/D Please don't just pass 'em Cby and stare
As if you Gdidn't care, say, "HelD/F#lo in there, helGlo"
