[Verse]
C Am F G
Like a battle worn shoulder, its faithfully stood
C Am F G
A modest creation, built mostly of wood
C Am F G
But time and neglect, they've taken their toll
F G F C
And now grandpa's barn, stands forgotten and old.
C Am F G
The roof has turned brown, from the rust on the tin
C Am F G
Any day now the whole thing, could come tumbling in
C Am F G
The hinges have rusted, on the big oaken doors
F G F C
And johnson grass grows through, the cracks in the boards.

[Verse]
C Am F G
In the mainger hangs single trees, harness and such
C Am F G
Where he left them there covered, with cobwebs and dust
C Am F G
There's his old slick fork saddle, he was once a cowboy
F G F C
It's a shame what the years and the mice will destroy.
C Am F G
There's a chill in the loft now, its silent and stale
C Am F G
Where grand children play, in sweet clover bails
C Am F G
Where raindrops were lullabies, on dark stormy days
F G F C
For little girls and kittens, asleep in the hay.
C Am F G
I remember the sound, of an old man's laughter
C Am F G
But now all I hear, is the wind in the rafters
C Am F G
And it speaks of a sadness, that times passing brings
F G F C
And makes faded old memories and tobacco juice stains.

[Verse]
C Am F G
But old barns they vanish, like castles of sand
C Am F G
Their glory fades quickly, like youth from a man
C Am F G
For a season they'll bloom, shinning fruits of his toll
F G F C
Then in times deadly grip, they crumble back into soil.
C Am F G
Abandoned it stands, like ancient grey ghost
C Am F G
Surrounded by weeds and rotten fence posts
C Am F G
Its a bitter sweet relic, of an old man and his farm
F G F
I close the gate for the last time, as I leave grandpa's
C
barn.
