"The Door" 
By George Jones from "The Best of George Jones" 
Written by B. Sherrill/N. Wilson

Intro:  G 
 
I’ve [G]heard the sound of my dear old mama [C]crying 
And the [D]sound of the train that took me off to [G]war 
The [G]awful sound of a thousand bombs ex[C]ploding 
And I [Am]wondered if I could take it any[C]more[D] 
 
There were [G]times when they almost drove me [C]crazy 
But I [D]did my best and took it like a [G]man 
And [G]who would think in my lonely room I’d [C]hear it 
The [D]one sound in the world my heart can’t [G]stand 
 
[N.C.]To hear that sound and to [G]know its really [C]over 
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk a[D]way 
And of [G]earthquakes storms and guns and war 
Lord [C]nothing has ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound  
The [D]closing of the [G]door 
 
(Key change to G#) 
And of [G#]earthquakes storms and guns and war 
Lord [C#]nothing ever hurt me more than that [G]lonely sound  
The [D#]closing of the [G#]door
