C:Intro...
[F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [G]

If ^Fthese old ^Gwalls, if ^Fthese old ^Gwalls could ^Cspeak [F]What A [C]tale they'D [G]have to [Am]tell ^CHard headed ^C/Epeople ^Graisin' ^Fhell A [F]couple [C]in [G]love livin' [C]week [C/E]to [F]week ^D9/F#Rooms full of ^C/Glaughter, if ^Fthese old walls ^Ccould ^Gspeak

If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk These would have a tale to tell The sun goin' down and dinner bells And children playin' at hide and seek >From floor to rafters, if these old walls could speak

^F They would tell you ^Gthat I'm ^Csorry ^G ^F For bein' cold and ^Gblind and ^Cweak ^G ^F They would tell you ^Gthat it's ^Amonly that I have a ^Gstubborn ^Fstreak If these walls could ^Cspeak

If these old fashion window panes had eyes I guess they would have seen it all Each little tear and silent step fall And every dream that we came to seek And followed after, if these old walls could speak They would tell you that I owe you More than I could ever pay Here's someone who really loves you Don't ever go away That's what these walls would say # # transcribed by G.
