Verso 1:
G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 Waiting for someone to call There's an old kettle boiling by the fire G There's and old welcome mat in the hall There's an old mom and dad there awaiting G7 C For a son that's been gone for so long G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 G Waiting for that boy to come homeVerso 2:
Many years ago he had to leave them D7 And travel far across the stormy sea To fight for the things that he believed in G With a song and a guitar on his knee But they hoped and they prayed he'd return to them G7 C Though the weeks slowly turned into years G Many nights they have been so lonely D7 G And many nights there have been many tearsVerso 1:
G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 Waiting for someone to call There's an old kettle boiling by the fire G There's and old welcome mat in the hallVerso 3:
G The old man is tired and weary D7 His back bend over with age The old woman she sits by the fire G And just gazes into the flames On a table that's standing beside her G7 C Are the pictures of the son she misses so G The son she held and kissed so dearly D7 G When he left her so many years agoVerso 1:
G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 Waiting for someone to call There's an old kettle boiling by the fire G There's and old welcome mat in the hallVerso 4:
G The old man has now passed over D7 His poor heart, able to stand no more The old woman still sits by the fire G Waiting for them to come through the door I go up just to check on her D7 C And see if shes doing fine G But what can you say to a woman D7 G Who has buried her only ray of lightOutro C G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 G Waiting for that boy to come homeVerso 1:
G There's and old cottage waiting in the country D7 Waiting for someone to call There's an old kettle boiling by the fire G There's and old welcome mat in the hall
