[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

[Verse 3]

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,

F#m              Em       Em7            A
Kind thoughts in my head, kind voices to hear

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            Bm
My dreams have withered, and died,

A              A7            G
My dreams have withered, and died,

A              A7            D      G
My dreams have withered, and died-------!
