Intro: G
[Chorus]
G D
If these old walls could talk, I'd be a sad man
C G D
She'd left me long ago, If she knew the things I did back then
G D
No, they ain't said a word, Stood silent through it all
C D G
I'd be a lonely man, If these old walls could talk
C D G C
This old house of ours, It's made of stone but it's built on sand
G
And these four walls they are my best friends
C D
They're keepin' all my past locked deep in-side
C D G C
No one will ever know, All those things I did so long ago
G Em - C
I've been runnin' tryin' to hide from yesterday
D
But there's just no need, I know my secrets safe
Repeat Chorus:
C D
They've stood every storm , Those long cold winter nights
G C
They kept us warm, Holdin' back the rain
G Em C
Not even the winds of change, Could blow down
D
Yeah, we're on solid ground
Repeat Chorus:
Lead Ride: (Steel) G - D - C - D
(Fiddle) G - D - C - G
Em D C G
They've stood the test of time, Never let me down
Em D C
I've put it all behind me, They remind me
D
I'm on shaky gro - und
(Stop)
They won't let me forget
Repeat Chorus:
G C D (Stop) G
Yeah, I'd be a lonely man, If these old walls could talk
D C
I'd be a sad man, She'd left me long ago
D G
If she only knew all those things I did back then
