     THE GRAND TOUR
     Recorded by: George Jones
     Submitted by: George Richardson

     This song was recorded on the best of George Jones CD.  I play it with
     my fret bar on the fourth fret to bring it into my voice range.


     Step (C) right up, come on in.  If you'd like to take the grand tour,
     of a (F) lonely house that once was home sweet (C) home.  I have
     nothing here to sell you, just some things that I will tell you.  Some
     (D7) things I know will chill you to the (G7) bone.

     Over (C) there sits the chair where she brang the paper to me, and sit
     down (F) on my knee and whisper oh (C) I love you.  (G7) But now she's
     gone forever and (C) this old house will (F) never be the (C) same
     without the love (G) love that we once (C) knew.

     (C) Straight ahead that's the bed where we lay and love together and
     lord (F) knows we had a good thing going (C) here.  See her picture on
     the table don't it look like she'd be able, just to (D7) touch me and
     say good morning (G7) dear.  There's her (C) rings all her things and
     her close are in the closet, just like she (F) left them when she tore
     my world (C) apart.

     As you (G7) leave you'll see the nursery, oh she (C) left me without
     (F) mercy, taking (C) nothing but our (G7) baby and my (C) heart.
     Step right up, come on in.
