Verse 1:
C               Dm              G7
     We had an apartment in the city,
C             Dm                 G7
     Me and Loretta liked living there.


Em                                  F
     Well it's been years since the kids had grown,
       C                 G 
a life of their own left us alone.


C            Dm            G7
    John and Linda live in Omaha,
C              Dm               G7
    And Joe is somewhere on the road.
Em                      F
    We lost Davy in the Korean war,
                  C                          G 
And I still don't know what for don't matter anymore.

Chorus:
Bb                                     C
     Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
        Bb                        C
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Em                         F
      Old people just grow lonesome
            C              G                 C
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.

C              Dm             G7
      Me and Loretta we don't talk much more,
C                  Dm                           G7
      She sits and stares through the back door screen.
Em                            F
      And all the news just repeats itself
             C                 G 
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.


C                 Dm             G7
     Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
C                Dm                 G7
     We worked together at the factory.
Em                       F
     What could I say if asks What's new?
        C                        G 
Nothing what's with you? Nothing much to do.

Chorus:
Bb                                    C
    Ya know that old trees just grow stronger,
        Bb                        C
And old rivers grow wilder every day.
Em                        F
     Old people just grow lonesome
            C              G                 C
Waiting for someone to say Hello in there, hello.

Verse 3:
C                 Dm               G7
     So if you're walking down the street sometime
C                 Dm             G7
    And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Em                               F
     Please don't just pass them by and stare
          C                G                 C
As if you didn't care, say Hello in there, hello
