verse 1   

   Bb        C         Bb        C           F 
If these old walls, if these old walls could speak. 
Bb      F         C       Dm               F      C      Bb   
What a tale they have to tell, hard headed people raisin'hell 
            C           F       Bb                 
A couple in love livin' week to week. 
      C7      F         Bb                    C       
Rooms full of laughter, if these  walls could speak. 

verse 2 


Bb           C         Bb       C           F         
If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk. 
Bb          F              Dm                  F        C      Bb     
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells. 
             C          F        Bb         
And children playin' at hide and seek. 
     C7       F           Bb                    C     Bb           
From floor to rafters, if these old Halls could speak. 


                    C        F   C   Bb      
They would tell you that I'm sorry. 
                       C         F  C  Bb     
For bein' and cold and blind and weak. 
                              Dm                  C       Bb     Gm   
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak. 
Bb                   F       
If these walls could speak.

verse 3                                            

Bb            C      Bb     C          F       
If these old fashion window panes were eyes. 
  Bb          F         C       Dm                
I guess they would have seen it all. 
             F      C             Bb          
Each little tear in silence would fall. 
           C             F      Bb        
And every dream that we came to seek, 
   C7       F       Bb                       C     Bb 
Or followed after, if these old walls could speak. 



                     C     F     C  Bb         
They would tell you that I owe you, 
                   C   F C             
More that I could ever pay. 
 Bb                       Dm                             
Here's someone who really loves you, 
           C   Bb  Gm Dm        
Don't ever go away. 
       Gm                     F   Bb F  C  Gm F   
That's what these walls would say.
