{c:Intro...}
[F] [C] [G]
[F] [C] [G]
If [F]these old [G]walls, if [F]these old [G]walls could [C]speak
[F]What a [C]tale they'd [G]have to [Am]tell
[C]Hard headed [C/E]people [G]raisin' [F]hell
A [F]couple [C]in [G]love livin' [C]week [C/E]to [F]week
[D9/F#]Rooms full of [C/G]laughter, if [F]these old walls [C]could [G]speak
If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk
These would have a tale to tell
The sun goin' down and dinner bells
And children playin' at hide and seek
[F] They would tell you [G]that I'm [C]sorry [G]
[F] For bein' cold and [G]blind and [C]weak [G]
[F] They would tell you [G]that it's [Am]only that I have a [G]stubborn [F]streak
If these walls could [C]speak
If these old fashion window panes had eyes
I guess they would have seen it all
Each little tear and silent step fall
And every dream that we came to seek
And followed after, if these old walls could speak
They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay
Here's someone who really loves you
Don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SHAWN COLVIN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
