[Verse 1]

  D                               G

This cruel country has driven me down,

  A            D       G           A

Teased me and lied, teased me and lied,

      D                                G

I've only sad stories to tell to this town,

A                 A7          D

My dreams have withered, and ...died!





[Verse 2]

 G                     F#m               Em

Once I was bending the   ...tops of the trees,

F#m                  Em         Em7       A

Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear!

 D                                   G

Then I took up with a girl from the west,

  A             D      G             A

Played run and hide, played run and hide,

  D                                        G

Count one to ten, and she's gone like the rest,

A                 A7         D

My dreams have withered and died!





[Verse 4]

   G                  F#m              Em

If I was a butterfly,      lived for a day,

F#m          Em         Em7         A

 I could be free, just blowing a - way!

  D                             D/F#     G

Silver moon sail up, and silver moon - shine,

        A         D      G        A

On the waters so wide, waters so wide,

  D                                  D/F#  G

Slipped from the bed of a good friend of mine,

A                 A7         D

My dreams have withered and died!





[Verse 6]

 G                     F#m               Em

Once I was bending the   ...tops of the trees,

Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear!
