[ Verse 1 ]
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
We had an apartment in the city
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
Me and Loretta liked living there

It'd been years since the kids had grown

A life of their own and left us alone
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
John and Linda live in Omaha
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
And Joe is somewhere on the road
Gmaj7 C
We lost Davey in the Korean war
C G D7 D9 D7 D9
And still don't know what for, don't matter anymore
[ Chorus 1 ]
F G
Ya know old trees just grow stronger

And old rivers grow wilder every day
Gmaj7 C
Old people just grow lonesome
C G D7 D9 D7 D9 G
Waiting for someone to say, Hello in there, hello

[ Verse 2 ]
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
Me and Loretta we don't talk much more
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
She sits and stares through the back door screen
Gmaj7 C
And all the news just repeats itself
C G D7 D9 D7 D9
Like some forgotten dream that we both seen
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
We worked together at the factory
Gmaj7 C
But what should I say when asks, What's new?
C G D7 D9 D7 D9
Nothing what's with you, Nothing much to do
[ Chorus 2 ]

Ya know old trees just grow stronger

Old people just grow lonesome
C G D7 D9 D7 D9 G
Waiting for someone to say, Hello in there, hello
[ Verse 3 ]
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
So if you're walking down the street sometime
G Am D7 D9 D7 D9
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Gmaj7 C
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
C G D7 D9 D7 D9 G
Waiting for someone to say, Hello in there, hello
