Hello In There as recorded by Joan Baez
# This song was originally composed and recorded by John Prine #
# There are three chord versions of this song under his name, #
# all three slightly different from each other. This version #
# is as recorded by Joan Baez and differs slightly from those #
# three versions. However, I have played along with Joan Baez's #
# recording and it fits perfectly. #
CAPO 5th Fret to match recording,
or place Capo where it suits your voice.
* NOTE: If a line ends in a G Chord and is followed by either *
* a C or Em, the bass is Walked Up, same as the Intro *
INTRO: Walk bass up from G to C
CHad an aFpartment in the Gcity,
CMe and LoFretta liked living Gthere.
EmItâs been years sinceF the kids have grown,
Lives Cof their own, left us aGlone.
CJohn and FLinda live in GOmaha,
CJoeyâ?F?s somewhere onG the road.
EmWe lost Davy in the FKorean war,
Still don't Cknow what for, don't matter Ganymore.
CHORUS:
You Bbknow old trees just grow Cstronger,
Old Bbrivers grow wider every Cday.
But Emold people they just grow Flonesome
Waiting for Csomeone to say, âGHello in thereC, hello.â
CMe and LoFretta we don't Gtalk much now,
CShe sits and Fstares at the backdoor Gscreen.
EmAll the news just reFpeats itself
Like some forCgotten dream that Gwe've both seen.
CSomeday I'll Fgo and call up GRudy,
CWe worked toFgether at the facGtory.
EmWhatâll I tell him iFf he asks, âWhat's new?â
âNothCing, what's with you? NotGhing much to do.â
CHORUS:
You Bbknow old trees just grow Cstronger,
Old Bbrivers grow wider every Cday.
But Emold people they just grow Flonesome
Waiting for Csomeone to say, âGHello in thereC, hello.â
INSTRUMENTAL: Same as Verse (with pedal steel guitar)
CSo if you're Fwalking down the Gstreet sometime
CSpot some Fhollow ancient Geyes,
EmPlease don't pass them Fby and stare
Like you Cdidn't care, say, âGHello in thereAm, helloâ
Say, âGHello in thereC, helloâ
