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

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