Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G
For sale sign, sitting curbside
C G
Front of all my childhood dreams
Am G C D
Daddy used to say there'd never come a day that he would leave
G
But we'd grow up and we get old
C G
And with that life goes on
Am G C D
Now it ain't the house I'm worried about being sold
[Chorus]
C G D Em
It's the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
C G Am7 D
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
C G
And it's a whole lot more than nails and boards
D Em
Deep inside those walls
C G Am D
There's a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
Em D
We played Batman, dad watched football
C G
It was sure a damn good life
Am7 G
Now it ain't the house I'm worried about
C D G C G
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
[Verse 2]
G
I can still see the oil slick stain marks
C G
From dad's Chevy in the garage
Am7
Smell momma cooking in the kitchen
G C D
While she's singing old gospel songs
G
And I fell down them old wood stairs
C G
More times that I can count
Am G
Them notches by the door show how I've grown
C D
Better make one more before I leave out
[Chorus]
C G D Em
It's the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
C G Am7 D
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
C G
And it's a whole lot more than nails and boards
D Em
Deep inside those walls
C G Am D
There's a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
Em D
We played Batman, dad watched football
C G
It was sure a damn good life
Am7 G
Now it ain't the house I'm worried about
C D Em7 C
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
[Lap Steel Solo]
C G D
[Outro]
Em D
We played Batman, dad watched football
C G
It was sure a damn good life
Am7 G
Now it ain't the house I'm worried about
C D G C G
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
For sale sign, sitting curbside
Front of all my childhood dreams
Daddy used to say there'd never come a day that he would leave
But we'd grow up and we get old
And with that life goes on
No, it ain't the house I'm worried about being sold
It's the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
And it's a whole lot more than nails and boards
Deep inside those walls
There's a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
We played Batman, dad watched football
It was sure a damn good life
No it ain't the house I'm worried about
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
I can still see the oil slick stain marks
From dad's Chevy in the garage
Smell momma cooking in the kitchen
While she's singing old gospel songs
And I fell down them old wood stairs
More times that I can count
Them notches by the door show how I've grown
Better make one more before I leave out
It's the heart carved in that oak tree, summer 2009
Every Christmas spent behind that living room window
And it's a whole lot more than nails and boards
Deep inside those walls
There's a lifetime just beyond that swinging screen door
We played Batman, dad watched football
It was sure a damn good life
No it ain't the house I'm worried about
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
We played Batman, dad watched football
It was sure a damn good life
No it ain't the house I'm worried about
It's the memories behind that for sale sign
