AN OLD FARM FOR SALE
By: Lloyd “Cowboy”  Copas
3/4 Waltz


INTRO : INSTRUMENTAL (OVER THESE WORDS)

     G           G7                   C           A 
The curtains are drawn...they’re not starched any-more,
        D   D7       G
just an old farm for sale.


VERSE ONE

    G            G7                   C           A        
The curtains are drawn...they’re not starched any-more,
        D   D7       G
just an old farm for sale.
     G            G7           C           A
And Mother’s old thimble lies there on the floor
        D   D7       G
just an old farm for sale.


BRIDGE

    C                        G
Now Grandpa and Grandma have gone on their way
         A          A7           D         D7
there's leaves the pasture where I used to play
    G        G7            C            A
why even the trees look ne-glected and frail
        D    D7      G
just an old farm for sale


INSTRUMENTAL: (OVER THE BRIDGE)


VERSE TWO
     G            G7               C         A
The shutters need painting they’re faded and brown
        D    D7      G
just an old farm for sale.
     G          G7              C               A
What once was a mansion is the shack that’s run-down
        D   D7       G
just an old farm for sale.


BRIDGE TWO

     C                       G
The postman no longer drives up to the lane
 A                A7           D           D7
there stands the front gate to rust in the rain.
    G           G7           C             A
The sign on the mailbox that once held the mail
         D    D7      G   
reads an old farm for sale.


BRIDGE INSTRUMENTAL(OVER THESE WORDS)

     C                       G
Now Grandpa and Grandma have gone on their way
         A          A7           D         D7
there's leaves the pasture where I used to play

VOCALS

     G        G7           C            A
why even the trees look ne-glected and frail
        D   D7       G
just an old farm for sale
