Intro: C   

                          F C 
One day the little house 
                      F C 
Was surprised to see 
                        F C 
A car on the dirt road 
                             F C 
Where a carriage used to be 
       G 
Pretty soon there were more 
    F 
And as time passed 
    C               F C 
The surveyors came 
                              F C 
And drew a line in the grass

                  G             F              C 
The steam shovels dug, then the trucks brought stones 
         F            C        Dm               G 
Then the steam roller came and smoothed out the road 
    C             G         F        C 
The little house, she could never be sold 
       F       C           G               C 
So she sat and watched the building of the road 


                                F C 
First it was gasoline stations 
                     F C 
And roadside stands 
                          F C 
As roads became highways 
                        F C 
And carved up the land 
G 
Everything moved 
     F 
Much faster than before 
         C                      F C 
Then the city came and knocked 
                            F C 
On the little house's door
