[Am][Dm][E][Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm]
[E][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Along
crags and sunless cracks I go
(Along crags [E]and sun[Dm]less cracks I go)
Up rib of rock,
[Am]down spine of stone
(Down rib of rock, up spine of stone)
I dare not [Dm]slumber where the
night winds whistle
(I dare not [E]slumber [Dm]where
the night winds whistle)
Lest her creeping-soul clutch
[Am]clutch this heart of thistle
(Lest her creeping-soul clutch home)

[Verse 2]
Oh, [Dm]the same god that
[Am]abandoned her
[E](Oh, the same god [Dm]that
abandoned her)
Has in turn abandoned [Am]me
(Has done gone abandoned
me)
And softening [Dm]the turf with
my tears
(And softening [E]the turf[Dm]
with [Am]my tears)
I dug a [G]well [Am]of misery

[Verse 3]
[Dm]And in that well of misery
And down that well of misery
[Am]Hangs a [Dm]bucket full of [Am]sorrow
(Hangs a bucket full of sorrow)
And it swings slow [Dm]and aching like a bell
[E](It swings slo[Dm]w like a bell)
Yeah, and its toll is dead and [Am]hollow
(And its toll is dead and hollow)

[Verse 4]
[Am]Oh, down [Dm]that well lies
the long-lost dress
(Oh, [E]down the well [Dm]lies the dress)
Of my little floating [Am]girl
(Of my little floating girl)
That muffles [Dm]a tear that you
let fall
(That deadens [Am]a te[Dm]ar
that [Am]you let fall)
All down [G]the [Am]well of misery

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Put shoulder to the handle, if ya dare
(Go to [E]the [Dm]handle, if you dare)
And hoist the bucket, [Am]hither
(And hoist that bucket, hither[Dm])
Lord, [Am]crank [Dm]then hoist,
then hoist and crank
(Lord, crank and hoist
and hoist and crank)
'Til your muscles waste and
[Am]wither
('Til your muscles waste and wither)

[Verse 6]
And [Am]the same [Dm]god that
abandoned her
(The same god that abandoned her)
Has in turn abandoned [Am]me
(Has in turn abandoned [Dm]me)
Deep in the desert of despair
[E](Deep in the deser[Dm]t of[Am] despair)
I wait at the [G]well [Am]of misery
