Verse 1
D 
They're tearing
A 
away the old place
D 
A 
The old place where I grew up
D 
G 
They're tearing away the old place
D 
A 
And building a parking lot
D 
A 
There goes my favorite maple
D 
A 
My treehouse and Tarzan swing
D 
G 
They're tearing away the old place
D 
A 
With every board and brick,
D 
how my poor heart pains
A 
Oh, the man that owns the land
Said we'd have to move
G 
We had been rentin' from him
A 
G 
A 
D 
since I was goin' on, too
A 
Bulldozers in our garden,
D 
A 
mother's flowers all gone
D 
G 
Daddy's favorite mantel
D 
A 
Somebody's taking home
D 
A 
Windows and doors, they're loaded
D 
A 
I recognize each one
D 
G 
They're tearing away the old place
D 
Each nail and shingle,
A 
D 
I love each single one
Each nail and shingle,
A 
I love each single one
