[Verse 1]
See [G]the
ruin on the hill,
where the [C]smoke is [Am]hanging still,
like [D]an echo of an age long
forgot[G]ten.
There's a story of a home crushed
beneath [C]those blackened stone[Am]s
and the [D]roof that fell
[C]before the beams were rot[D]ten.
Cecil [G]Darby loved his wife
and he [C]labored all his [Am]life
to [D]provide her with material possession.
[G]And he built for her a home
of the [C]finest wood [Am]and stone
and the [D]building soon [C]became
his sole obses[D]sion.
Oh, it [C]took three hundred [D]days
for the tim[G]bers to be raised,
and the [C]silhouette was
[G]seen for miles [D]around.
And [G]the gables reached as high
as the [C]eagles in [Am]the sky,
[A]but it onl[D]y took one nig[C]ht
to bring [D]it down,
when Darby's castle tumbled to
[G]the ground.[C][Am][D]
[G][Am][G]
Oh, they shared a common bed,
there was pre[C]cious [B]little Sid
[Am]In the momen[D]ts that were set
aside for [G]sleepin'
For his busy dreams were filled
with the [C]rooms he'd yet to build
[Am]And he never[D] heard young
[C]El len Darby [D]weepin'.
Then one [G]night he heard a sound
as he [C]laid his pencil down
[Am]And he trace[D]d it to her door
and turned the [G]handle.
In the pale light of the moon
through the [C]window of the room
[Am]Split the shad[D]ows
where two bod[C]ies lay en[D]tangled.
Oh, it [C]took three hundred [D]days
for the tim[G]bers to be raised
And [C]so it was [G]seen for miles [D]around
And [G]the gables reached as high
as the [C]eagles [B]in the [Am]sky
But it [D]only took one [C]night to bring it [D]down
When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground
[G]When Dar[D]by's castle tumbled to the gro[G]und
