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 home 
 
  
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 tears

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 ago

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 light
