Little Houses by Doug Stone Capo: 2nd Fret Intro: C F G C F G
C Dm
Little white house, in the heart of town
G7 C F
G
On a little sad street, just a little run down
C Dm
Became a home, for Bill and Sue
G7 C
Two newlyweds, who did the best, that they could do
F Em
And when they brush each other, passin' in the hall
F G
Sue would smile and say "this place is pretty small"
[Refrão] C
But you know, Love grows best in, Little houses
With few walls to separate, where ya
F
Eat and sleep so close together
G7
You can't help but communicate
C
Oh, and if we had more room between us
F
Think of all we'd miss
Dm G C F G
Love grows best, in houses just like this
Before too long, Sue and Bill
Were makin' plans, for Jack and Jill
Oh happy Day, when the *news, came in
But what to do, they found out Sue was having twins
When they could not pass each other in the hall
Well, Sue would smile and say "this place is really, really small"
Chorus
F C
That little white frame house still keeps them warm
F G
Though it's been 32 years, since the kids were born
F C
F
And when they look back now, they hold each other tight
Dm G
And whisper in each other's ears, you know you were right
Chorus
Dm G C
F G C
Yeah, Love grows best in houses just like this
