Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G
For sale sign, sitting curbside
C G
Front of all my childhood dreams
Am G C D
Daddy used to say there’d never come a day that he would leave
G
But we’d grow up and we get old
C G
And with that life goes on
Am G C D
Now it ain’t the house I’m worried about being sold
[Chorus]
C G D Em
It’s the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
C G Am7 D
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
C G
And it’s a whole lot more than nails and boards
D Em
Deep inside those walls
C G Am D
There’s a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
Em D
We played Batman, dad watched football
C G
It was sure a damn good life
Am7 G
Now it ain’t the house I’m worried about
C D G C G
It’s the memories behind that for sale sign
[Verse 2]
G
I can still see the oil slick stain marks
C G
From dad’s Chevy in the garage
Am7
Smell momma cooking in the kitchen
G C D
While she’s singing old gospel songs
G
And I fell down them old wood stairs
C G
More times that I can count
Am G
Them notches by the door show how I’ve grown
C D
Better make one more before I leave out
[Chorus]
C G D Em
It’s the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
C G Am7 D
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
C G
And it’s a whole lot more than nails and boards
D Em
Deep inside those walls
C G Am D
There’s a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
Em D
We played Batman, dad watched football
C G
It was sure a damn good life
Am7 G
Now it ain’t the house I’m worried about
C D Em7 C
It’s the memories behind that for sale sign
[Lap Steel Solo]

[Outro]
