Little Brown Building Teclado

	  Don't let'em tear that little brown building down   
by Bobby Bare   
(G) They passed an ordinance in the town   
(G) They said we'd have to tear it down   
(G) That little old shack out back so dear to (D) me   
(D) Though the health department (G) said it's day is (C) over and dead   
(G) It will stand forever in my ((D)) memory   
   
(G) Don't let'em tear that little brown building (D)down   
(D) Don't let'em tear that (G) precious building (D) down   
(G) Don't let'em tear that dear old building (D) down   
For there's not (C) another like it in the country or the (G) town
   
   
It was not so long ago. that I went (C) trippin through the snow   
(G) Out to that house behind my old hound (D) dog   
Where I sit me down to rest like a (C) snowbird on his nest   
And (G) read the (G) sears and (D) Robot (G) catalogue   
   
I would hum a happy tunes pepin through the quarter moon   
Just like my daddy's kin had done before   
It was just a quite spot, daily cares could be forgot   
And it gave the same relief to rich or poor   
   
It wasn't fancy built at all it had newspapers on the wall   
It was air conditioned in the winter time   
It was just a humble hut but it's door was never shut   
And a man could get inside without a dime   
   
CHORUS   
Don't let'em tear that little brown building down   
Don't let'em tear that precious building down   
Don't let'em tear that dear old building down   
For there's not another like it in the country or the town
