Dave Gunning - House By The Stream


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO:
C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC

            FF
He never worried when a day would end
     A minorAm          FF  C majorC
He'd just watch the cars drive by
                FF
Sitting in the twilight of his life, he felt a friend
    DmDm           C majorC
To the highway running just outside

                  FF
The porch was his rest stop, he was born inside
         A minorAm         FF
If he caught your eye, he'd wave and smile
   C majorC                FF
And I wondered if he knew me from the last time I passed by
        DmDm             C majorC   G+G
A augmentedA thought that stayed with me for another mile


CHORUS:
      FF      C majorC
And no one stopped only halfway there
  A minorAm          FF    G+G
The old house down by the stream
      FF     C majorC      A minorAm
But halfway there was home to him
                FF
He settled in his worn out easy chair
       G+G          DmDm
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
    FF      C majorC
In his house by the stream


INTERLUDE:
C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF  C majorC


                FF
Those days on the farm had long disappeared
          A minorAm         FF
But his dad's last words, he'd hold onto
   C majorC               FF
While waving at the highway, a life driving past each day
   DmDm            C majorC   G+G
But a smile might have dried a tear

CHORUS:
      FF      C majorC
And no one stopped only halfway there
  A minorAm          FF    G+G
The old house down by the stream
      FF     C majorC      A minorAm
But halfway there was home to him
                FF
He settled in his worn out easy chair
       G+G          DmDm
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
    FF      C majorC
In his house by the stream


INSTRUMENTAL:
C majorC A minorAm G+G A minorAm FF C majorC DmDm C majorC FF G+G C majorC


                        FF
The trees went first, then gravel trucks rolled in
         A minorAm      FF
A augmentedA four lane took shape a mile away
  C majorC               FF
Too far to see the highway, life's road dark and empty
      DmDm           C majorC   G+G
A augmentedA new road opened on this closing day


CHORUS:
      FF      C majorC
And no one stopped only halfway there
  A minorAm          FF    G+G
The old house down by the stream
      FF     C majorC      A minorAm
But halfway there was home to him
                FF
He settled in his worn out easy chair
       G+G          DmDm
To sit awhile and smile while he dreamed
    FF      C majorC    FF
In his house by the stream


OUTRO:
            DmDm
But no longer does he dream
    FF      C majorC    FF C majorC FF
