That Ol� Door

Intro:  Amaj7  F#m  Amaj7  B  E

E 				A
We moved into a house in Tennessee
         E			     B 
From the California desert where we did not wanna be
          E 				            A
Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue
       C#m      B            
It was 1982 the world was still brand new

       E 				   A
Oh the front door to that house was very strong
   E			        	 B
As long as we were living there I knew nothing could go wrong
      E 			            A
So we had our kids we made our lives work out the best we could
       C#m                         B            
Behind that ol' piece of wood in a world we understood

         Amaj7
That ol' door was always open, that ol' door was never closed
					    B
That ol' door was our protection when the need arose
         Amj7
That ol' door was ever faithful, that ol' door was ever strong
					 B
That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home 
	        E
Welcome me back home
 
We never knew how good we get it there
So we went right on living like we didn't have a care
And when the only thing that mattered didn't matter after all
And the writin' on the wall said we're headed for a fall

That ol' door was always open that ol' door was standing guard
That ol' door was there to witness when the times were hard
That ol' door was ever faithul that ol' door was in our bones
That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home

Intro

Sometimes when the leaves blow down the track
Something deep inside of me bring all those mem'ries back
And that door comes round to haunt me with those chiseled marks that show
Just how much a kid can grow in a world still moving slow

That ol' door was always open... + Verse 1
