[G]There's an old old house that [C]once was a [G]mansion
On a hill overlooking the [D7]town
But [G]time has left wreckage where [C]once there was [G]beauty
And soon the old [D7]house will tumble [G]down
But [D7]when the leaves start to [C]fall in [G]autumn
And the [D7]rain starts to [C]drip from the [G]trees
There's an old old man who [C]walks through the [G]garden
And his head is [D7]bowed in memo[G]ry
They say he built the mansion [C]because of a [G]woman
And they planned to be married in the [D7]fall
But [G]her love withered in the [C]last days of [G]summer
And the house stood [D7]empty after [G]all
But [D7]when the leaves start to [C]fall in [G]autumn
And the [D7]rain starts to [C]drip from the [G]trees
There's an old old man who [C]walks through the [G]garden
And his head is [D7]bowed in memo[G]ry
