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