Hello In There -  John Prine 1971 -  Joan Baez 1975

[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
