[Verse 1]
[G]Thi[D]s c[A]rue[G]l o[C#]ld country has driven me[Gb] dow[Db]n,[Db]
[Gb]teas[Ab]ed me[Db] and [Gb]lied.[Ab]
[Db]I've only sad stories to tell
to this [Gb]town
[Ab]My dreams have withered [Db]and died.
[Gb]Once I was bending the
[Db]tops [Fm]of th[Db]e trees,[Ebm]
Kind [Db]thought[Fm]s in[Gb] my he[Ebm]ad,
kind [Bbm]voices [Db]to h[Ab]ear.[Db]
Then I took up with [Db]a girl
from [Gb]the West.
[Ab]They'd run [Db]and hide,
[Gb]they'd run and [Ab]hide.
[C#]Count [D]one to ten and
[C#]she's gone [D]like [G]the rest.
[A]My [Ab]dreams have [A]withered [D]and died.
If [G]I w[F#]as a[G] butterfly,
[Gbm]lived for a day,[Db][Ebm]
[Db]I could be free just blo[Gb]w
ing [Ab]away.[Gb]
[Db]Silver moon sailor and
silver moon[Gb]shine
On the [Ab]water [Db]so wide,
[Gb]water [A]so wide,
[D]Slip from the bed [F#]of a[D] good
[A]friend of [G]mine
[Ab]My dreams have [A]withered [C#]and died.
[F#]Once I was bending the
[F#m]tops of t[F#]he tr[Ebm]ees
[C#]Kind [F#m]thoughts [F#]in my [Ebm]head,
kind [F#]voices [Ab]to h[F#]ear.
[C#]This cruel country has driv[F#]en me down,
[Ab]teased me and [C#]lied.
[F#]Teased me and lied.
[C#]I've only sad stories to tell
to [F#]this town.
[Ab]My dreams have withered and [F#]died. [x3]
[Bm][F#]
