[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,      l ived 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----------!
