This old house.....is cold and empty

Am Fmaj7/C C/G
(softly) There's no gold on either side of the Mississippi,
Fmaj7/C Am C/G
No silver in this world left to find.
Am Fmaj7/C C/G
Precious metal......and precious memories
Fmaj7/C Am C/G
slip away, slip away, from your finger-and-your-mind.
[Chorus]
G Am Fmaj7/C
There was a time when I called you,
G Am Fmaj7/C C/G
There was a time when I called you mine.
