[Verse]
G Am D7
We had an apartment in the city,
G Am D7
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Bm C
Well its been years since the kids had grown,
G D
A life of their own left us alone.
G Am D7
John and Linda live in Omaha,
G Am D7
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
Bm C
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
G D
And I still don't know what for don't matter anymore.
[Chorus]
F G
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
F G
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Bm C
Old people just grow lonesome
G D G
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.
[Verse]
G Am D7
Me and Loretta we don't talk much more,
G Am D7
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
Bm C
And all the news just repeats itself
G D
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
G Am D7
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
G Am D7
We worked together at the factory.
Bm C
But what could I say if asks What's new
G D
Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do.
[Chorus]
F G
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
F G
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Bm C
Old people just grow lonesome
G D G
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.
[Verse]
G Am D7
So if you're walking down the street sometime
G Am D7
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Bm C
Please don't just pass them by and stare
G D G
As if you didn't care, say Hello in there, hello
