A Cottage For Sale (Key of D)

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.
