^GWe had an ^Amapartment in the ^D7city, ^GMe and Lo^Amretta liked living ^D7there. ^BmWell its been years since the ^Ckids had grown, A life ^Gof their own left ^Dus alone.

^GJohn and ^AmLinda live in ^D7Omaha, ^GAnd Joe is ^Amsomewhere on the ^D7road. ^BmWe lost Davy in the ^CKorean war, And I still don't ^Gknow what for don't matter ^Danymore.

Chorus:

^FYa know that old trees just grow ^Gstronger, And old ^Frivers grow wilder every ^Gday. Old ^Bmpeople just grow ^Clonesome Waiting for ^Gsomeone to say ^DHello in there, ^Ghello.

^GMe and ^AmLoretta we don't ^D7talk much more, ^GShe sits and ^Amstares through the back door ^D7screen. ^BmAnd all the news just re^Cpeats itself Like some ^Gforgotten dream that ^Dwe've both seen.

^GSomeday ^AmI'll go and call up ^D7Rudy, ^GWe worked to^Amgether at the fac^D7tory. ^BmBut what could I say if ^Casks What's new Nothing, ^Gwhat's with you? Nothing ^Dmuch to do.

(Repeat Chorus)

^GSo if you're ^Amwalking down the ^D7street sometime ^GAnd spot some ^Amhollow ancient ^D7eyes, ^BmPlease don't just pass them ^Cby and stare As if you ^Gdidn't care, say ^DHello in there, ^Ghello
