Verse 1
(B major) (C major) (A minor) (D flat minor) (F sharp major) (B major) (F major) Hello?
(B major)
Oh, (C major) hello, Jim.
Mm -hmm.
Just walked in (F major) the house myself.
(C major) Yeah, they are gonna tear
the old courthouse down.
I (A minor) heard it in town just
before I (D minor) left. (D major)
(A minor) Municipal (G major) buildings,
some (C major) of them say they're calling it,
yeah, bigger and better all around. (F major)
No, no, they (B major) ain't gonna have (C major)
no voting on (A minor) it.
They're just gonna (G major) tear the
old court (C major) house down. (F major)
(C major) Oh, I reck (B major) on so.
I (C major) hate to see it go. (G major) (C major)
Well, when I was a boy in my teens,
my pa brought me to town
(A minor) for the first time, (G major) (F sharp major)
And that was the first big building
I'd (D major) ever (G major) seen. (E major) (B major)
Bought (C major) the license there
to marry my woman.
Paid (A minor) tax on (F major) my first piece of land. (E major)
And I voted my (C major) first time
(A minor) right there in the hall. (D flat minor) (D flat major) (G major)
Reckon (C major) that old building
watched me grow to a man.
Got all the children's birth
certificates there.
(A minor) All (E major) of them still living but (F major) one.
It (C major) is the (B major) big war, you remember,
we (C major) lost him.
The rest (A minor) of the kids, heh, mar (D minor) ried.
Got little (A major) time (A minor) for the old folks. (B major)
(A minor) Wrecking that (C major) new build (A minor) ing's for them.
(F major) That building's gonna
fill up (C major) the square.
Yeah, (B major) right out (A minor) to the street.
Won't (D minor) be no room (D major) left, (G major) of course,
(C major) to argue (E major) religion (B major) and politics.
(C major) And no place for our champion
(B major) check (E major) er players to meet. (C major)
(B major) Now that they're tearing
(E major) down the old court (F sharp major) house,
it seems like I'm (B major) losing a (C major) friend. (F sharp major)
And by golly, Jim,
(E major) that (C major) building ain't (A minor) no older
than I (C major) (A minor) am. (B major) (A minor)
(F major) The fellow ought to prepare,
I reckon, for the end. (E major) (F major)
(C major) Oh, (A minor) yeah, don't worry.
(D minor) I'll meet you (B major) there in (G major) town,
(B major) just like always. (F major)
Oh, (B major) (C major) yeah, out there in the street,
I guess. (A minor) (E major)
By then the court (F major) house
and the (A minor) (B major) whittling benches
(A minor) will be gone. (C major)
There won't be (A minor) nowhere
for us to sit down (C sharp major) and rest.
(A minor) All right, (F sharp major) Jim. (B major)
(C major) Be seeing you.
Oh, before you (B major) ring off, (E major) you know, (A minor) Jim,
(F major) if there's an everyday (C major) place
in (B major) the promised (F major) land, (C major)
(A minor) sort of an off (D minor) -beau (D flat major) ty con
(F sharp minor) gregat (F sharp major) ing ground, (C major) (B major) (F major)
I (E major) be (C major) lieve I'd be happy with
that old (B major) courthouse yard, (C major)
where the Lord'll walk up and say,
welcome. (F sharp major)
Outro 1
Sit down.
(F sharp major) (F sharp major) (C major)
