[Verse 1]
G The judge said 'stand up, lad, G D And dry up your tears D You're sentenced to Dartmoor D G For twenty-one years G So dry up your tears, love, G D And kiss me goodbye, D The best friends must part Love D G So must you and I.
[Verse 2]
G I hear the train coming, G D Twill be here at nine. D To take me to Dartmoor D G To serve up my time. G I look down the railway G D And plainly I see, D You standing there waving D G Your goodbyes to me.
[Verse 3]
G Six months have gone by G D I wish I were dead. D This dark dreary dungeon D G And stone for my bed. G It’s raining it’s hailing G D The moon gives no light. D Now won't you tell me love D G Why you never write
[Verse 4]
G I've counted the days love, G D I've counted the nights, D I've counted the footsteps, D G I've counted the lights, G I've counted the raindrops, G D I've counted the stars, D I've counted a million D G Of these prison bars
[Verse 5]
G I've waited, I've trusted, G D I've longed for the day, D A lifetime, so lonely, D G Now my hair's turning grey. G My thoughts are for you love, G D Till I'm out of my mind, D For twenty-one years D G Is a mighty long time
[Verse 6]
G I've counted on you, love G D to give me a break. D I guess you forgot love D G I'm here for your sake. G You know who is guilty G D You know it so well, D But I'll rot in prison, D G before I will tell.
[Verse 7]
G Come all you young fellows G D with hearts brave and true, D Don't believe any woman D G You would meet if you do, G Don't trust any woman, G D no matter what kind, D For twenty-one years, boys, D G is a mighty long time.
