Verse
Bm A G
My land it was rich, but I wouldn't work it
Bm A G
I guess I made a shrew of my wife
Bm A G
My duty clear, I could always find some way to shirk it
Bm A G
I dreamed away the best years of my life
Bm A G
Seems like only this morning, I went up into the mountain
Bm A G
No word of warning, just her usual curse
Bm A G
I hated the house, with all her nagging and shouting
Bm A G
But to be in this strange world was a thousand times worse
[Chorus]
D G
Where are the men
A D
that I used to sport with?
D G
What has become
A D
of my beautiful town?
D G
Wolf, my old friend
A D
Even you don't know me
D G
This must be the end
A D
My house is tumbled down
[Verse 2]
Bm A G
He called me by name, he bought me that cheaply
Bm A G
He called me by name, I didn't know what to think
Bm A G
I watched their loud games, and oh, I drink deeply
Bm A G
Though no-one had ever asked me to drink
Bm A G
And you know that stolen liquor, it was sweeter than whiskey
Bm A G
Many times quicker, just to put me to sleep
Bm A G
That drinking with strangers can be very risky
Bm A G
My sleep it was long, it was twenty years deep
[Chorus]
D G
Where are the men
A D
that I used to sport with?
D G
What has become
A D
of my beautiful town?
D G
Wolf, my old friend
A G
Even you don't know me
D G
This must be the end
A D
My house is tumbled down
