Key of G

Intro

In my (G) daddy's yard

There's a (C) worn out wooden swing

So I (G) asked him once

What's the (A) story with that (D) thing

He said "That (G) ring of gold, that's (C) on your momma's (G) hand"

"Well (G) son this is (D) where it all be(G)gan "

(G) This swing hung from the tree

Where the girl asked the boy will you (D) play with (G) me

And the sun shined bright and the world spun round

And they grew up till it (D) all came (G) down

To the (C) church where they stood and said "I Do"

Where the (G) bells rang out and the love was true

And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman

Who lived in the house that (D) love (G) built

When I met the girl

That (C) stole my heart away

Well I (G) gave that ole' swing

A (A) brand new coat of (D) paint

And I (G) told the tale as (C) we swung "to and (G) fro"

And I said I hope this is (D) how our story (G) goes

(G) This swing hung from the tree

Where the girl asked the boy will you (D) play with (G) me

And the sun shined bright and the world spun round

And they grew up till it (D) all came (G) down

To the (C) church where they stood and said "I Do"

Where the (G) bells rang out and the love was true

And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman

Who lived in the house that (D) love (G) built

Key Change (from G to A)

Solo

Key Change (from A, back to G)

(G) This swing hung from the tree

Where the girl asked the boy will you (D) play with (G) me

And the sun shined bright and the world spun round

And they grew up till it (D) all came (G) down

To the (C) church where they stood and said "I Do"

Where the (G) bells rang out and the love was true

And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman

Who lived in the house that (D) love (G) built

(G) That old swing still hangs in the tree

Out back of the house that (D) love (G) built
