A Cottage For Sale
Words & Music by Larry Conley & Willard Robison
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1957
D F#7 C#m7-5
Our little dream castle with every dream gone
B7 Gdim Gm7
Is lonely and silent -- the shades are all drawn,
D7 D7/F# G Gm7
And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon
E A7 D
A cottage for sale.
D F#7 C#m7-5
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay;
B7 Gdim Gm7
Our beautiful garden has withered away.
D7 D7/F# G Gm7
Where we planted roses the weeds seem to say,
E A7 D
"A cottage for sale."
Bridge
F#7 B7
Through every single window I see your face
E7 Fdim E7 A7 Cdim A7
But when I reach the win - dow there's only empty space
D F#7 C#m7-5
The key's in the mail box, the same as be - fore
B7 Gdim Gm7
But no one is waiting for me anymore
D7 D7/F# G Gm7
The end of our story is told on the door
E A7 D
A Cottage For Sale.
