Capo 5

INTRO:  G  C

C            F                         G
Had an apartment in the city,
C            F                             G
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Em                                   F
It’s been years since the kids have grown,
         C                                G
Lives of their own, left us alone.

C              F                    G
John and Linda live in Omaha,
C          F                            G
Joey’s somewhere on the road.
Em                           F
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
                 C                                           G
Still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

CHORUS:
        Bb                                     C
You know old trees just grow stronger,
       Bb                                   C
Old rivers grow wider every day.
       Em                                     F
But old people they just grow lonesome
                   C                            G                     C
Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello.”

C           F                         G
Me and Loretta we don't talk much now,
C                   F                                   G
She sits and stares at the backdoor screen.
Em                          F
All the news just repeats itself
                    C                              G
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.

C                  F                       G
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
C                  F                         G
We worked together at the factory.
Em                               F
What’ll I tell him if he asks, “What's new?”
                C                                       G
“Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do.”

CHORUS:
        Bb                                     C
You know old trees just grow stronger,
        Bb                                  C
Old rivers grow wider every day.
       Em                                     F
But old people they just grow lonesome
                   C                            G                     C
Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello.”

INSTRUMENTAL: sama seperti verse

C                 F                            G
So if you're walking down the street sometime
C                F                       G
Spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Em                                  F
Please don't pass them by and stare
               C                           G                    Am
Like you didn't care, say, “Hello in there, hello”
            G                     C
Say, “Hello in there, hello”
