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