The Door
recorded by George Jones
written by Billy Sherrill
G Am C
I've heard the sound of my dear old mama cry-ing
D7 G
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
C
And the awful sound of a thousand bombs ex-ploding
Am D7
And I wondered if I could take it anymore
G C
There were times when they almost drove me crazy
D7 G
But I did my best and took it like a man
Am C
But who would think in my lonely room I'd h-ear it
D7 G
The one sound in the world my heart can't stand
C
To hear that sound and to know it's really over
G D7
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
G
And of earthquakes storms guns and war
C
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more
G D7 G
Than that lonely sound the closing of the door

And of earthquakes storms guns and war
C
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more
G D7 G
Than that lonely sound the closing of the door
