If These Old Walls Could Talk

[G]

If these old wa[G]lls could talk, I'd be a s[D]ad man
She'd left me l[C]ong ago, If she knew the th[G]ings I did back th[D]en
No, they ain't s[G]aid a word, Stood silent thr[D]ough it all
I'd be a lo[C]nely man, [D]    If these old wa[G]lls could talk

This old ho[C]use of ours,[D] It's made of stone but it's bu[G]ilt on sand [C]
And these four walls they are my[G] best friends
They're k[C]eepin' all my past locked deep i[D]n-side
No one will e[C]ver know,[D] All those things I did so long a[G]go    [C]
I've been runnin' tryin' to h[G]ide from yest[Em]erday[C]
But there's just no need, I know my secrets saf[D]e

Repeat Chorus:

T[C]hey've stood every storm [D], Those long cold winter nights
They k[G]ept us warm, [C]Holdin' back the rain
N[G]ot even the w[Em]inds of change, Could blow down[C]
Yeah, we're on solid gr[D]ound

Repeat Chorus:

Lead Ride:    (Steel)   [G] - [D] - [C] - [D]
              (Fiddle)  [G] - [D] - [C] - [G]

T[Em]hey've stood the te[D]st of time, N[C]ever let me do[G]wn
I've put it al[Em]l behind me, T[D]hey remind me [C]
I'm on shaky gro [D]- und
                        (Stop)
They won't let me forget

Repeat Chorus:

Y[G]eah, I'd be a lo[C]nely man, [D]          If these old walls[G] could talk
I'd be a s[D]ad man, She'd left me l[C]ong ago
If she only k[D]new all those things I did back then[G]
