[A]
[D] [Bm] [F#]
[A]
See the ruins on the hill [D] where the smoke is hanging still [E] like an echo of an [A] age long forgotten
There's a story of a home [D] crushed beneath those blackened stones [E] and the roof that [D] fell before the [E] beams were rotten
[A] Cecil Darby loved his wife [D] and he labored [Bm] all his life [E] to provide her with material [A] possessions
And he built for her a home [D] of the finest [Bm] wood and stone [E] but the building [D] soon became his [E] sole obsession
Oh, [D] it took 300 [A] days for the timbers [F#m] to be raised [D] and the silhouette [A] seen from miles [E] around
[A] And the gables reached as high [D] as the Eagles [Bm] in the sky, [E] but it only [D] took one night to [E] bring it down
When Darby's castle tumbled [A] to the ground
Though [D]
[Bm] [E] [A]
[D]
[Bm] [A] [E]
[A]
they shared a common bed [D] there was precious [Bm] little said [E] in the moments that were set [A] aside for sleeping
Cecil Darby's dreams were filled [D] with the rooms he'd [Bm] yet to build [E] and he never heard [D] young Ellen [E] Darby weeping
[A] One night he heard a sound [D] and he laid his [Bm] pencil down.
[E] He traced it to her door and [A] turned the handle
In the pill light of the moon [D] through the window [Bm] of the room
[E] Laid the shadows [D] of two bodies [E] made in tangle.
[D] Oh
It took [E] 300 days [A] for the timbers [F#m] to be raised [D] and the silhouette [A] seen [E] from miles around
[A] And the gables reached as high [D] as the Eagles [Bm] in the sky, [E] but it only [D] took one night [E] to bring it down
When Darby's castle tumbled [A] to the ground
[B] When Darby's castle tumbled [A] to the ground
