Artist: George Jones
I've [G]heard the sound of my dear old mama [F]cryi[C]ng
And the [D7]sound of the train that took me off to [G]war[D]
The [G]awful sound of a thousand bombs e[F]xpl[C]oding
And I [Am]wondered if I could take it any[C]more [D]
There were [G]times when they almost drove me[F] cr[C]azy
But I [D7]did my best and took it like a m[G]an[D]
And [G]who would think in my lonely room I'd [C]hear it
The [D]one sound in the world my heart can't [G]stand
N.C.
To hear that sound and to [G]know it's really [C]over
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk a[D]way
And of [G]earthquakes storms and guns and war
Lord [C]nothing has ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound
The [D]closing of the [G]door
And of [G#]earthquakes storms and guns and war
Lord [C#]nothing ever hurt me more than that [G#]lonely sound
The [D#]closing of the [G#]door
And the [D7]sound of the train that took me off to [G]war[D]
The [G]awful sound of a thousand bombs e[F]xpl[C]oding
And I [Am]wondered if I could take it any[C]more [D]
There were [G]times when they almost drove me[F] cr[C]azy
But I [D7]did my best and took it like a m[G]an[D]
And [G]who would think in my lonely room I'd [C]hear it
The [D]one sound in the world my heart can't [G]stand
N.C.
To hear that sound and to [G]know it's really [C]over
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk a[D]way
And of [G]earthquakes storms and guns and war
Lord [C]nothing has ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound
The [D]closing of the [G]door
And of [G#]earthquakes storms and guns and war
Lord [C#]nothing ever hurt me more than that [G#]lonely sound
The [D#]closing of the [G#]door
