John and Linda live in Omaha

And Joe is somewhere on the road

We lost Davy in the Korean war

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
    FF            G+G
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day
G7G7          C majorC
Old people just grow lonesome
       G+G        D MajorD        G+G
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
G+G   A minorAm         DmDm
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more
 G+G      A minorAm              DmDm
She sits and stares through the back door screen
G7G7           C majorC
And all the news just repeats itself
           G+G          D MajorD
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen

We worked together at the factory
G7G7              C majorC
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
      G+G            D MajorD
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."
G+G      A minorAm        DmDm
So if you're walking down the street sometime
G+G       A minorAm      DmDm
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
G7G7             C majorC
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
     G+G          D MajorD       G+G
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
