And all the men in all the [G]town
[C]All the people all around stand
watch[G]ing[C]
They're wondering
here wondering [G]now
[C]Wondering who wondering how
[G]Wondering [C]why

[Verse 2]
He's [Am]a lone traveller he's
been travelling [C]'round
He's seen [Am]death valleys
He's seen young men [C]drown
He seeks a [Am]young lady take her
home lay her [C]down
(Ooh Ooh)

her home lay her [C]down
