Sorrow’s Tearing Down The House
Recorded by Porter Wagoner and Skeeter Davis
Written by Mel Tillis and Kent Westberry

C         G7     C          F                  C
I met you and we married we planned our future well
F                 C         D7               G7
Built our home on happiness then suddenly it fell
C         G7   C              F             C
It wasn't long thereafter our love began to tilt
F                C                   G7             C
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built

      G7                           C
First came the weekly parties that never seemed to end
D7                       G7
Then came the heartaches brought by a so called friend
C            G7     C                 F                  C
I guess that I'm as much to blame and while we share the guilt
F                C                   G7             C
Sorrow's tearing down the house that happiness once built
