As recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary (From the 1968 Album LATE AGAIN) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
There's grievin' in the country

        Em      Dm
There's sorrow in the sand

                   Am
There's sobbin' in the shanty

Em                Am
And there's anger in the land
[Verse 2]
Am
A woman broods in silence

        Em    Dm
Close beside an open door

                 Am
Flung on her flimsy doorstep

Em            Am          Asus4 Am
Lies a corpse upon the floor
[Verse 3]
Am
"You'll not ask me why I'm silent"

    Em          Dm
The woman said to me

                     Am
Her two eyes blazed in anger

Em                  Am
And her throat throbbed agony
[Verse 4]
Am
Oh, once my heart could cry in sorrow

Em                 Dm
Now it lies there on the floor

                    Am
In the ashes by the hearthstone

Em                  Am
They can't hurt it anymore
[Verse 5]
Am
Oh, let the wind go cryin' yonder

Em               Dm
In the treetops by the spring

                       Am
Let its voice be soft and feeling

Em               Am
Like it was a living thing
[Verse 6]
Am
There's grievin' in the country

        Em     Am  Dm
There's sorrow in the sand

                       Am
There's sobbin' in the shanty

Em            Am
And there's anger in the land
