[E] This blue-eyed country
has drunk the [A] dawn
Tease [B] me [E] and lie
tease [A] me [B] and lie
[E] I've only sad stories
to tell to this [A] town
[B] All my dreams are withered [E] and died
[A]
Once I was bound in the [E] tops of [G#] the [F#] trees
[G#m] And words of [F#m] my youth
[Gm] kind [C#m] faces [B] to see
[E]
And I struck up
[Em] [E] with a girl from the [A]
west
[B] She played run and [E] hide
[G#m] [A] She played run and [B] hide
[E] And once a town
and she's gone with the [A] rest
[B] All my dreams are withered and [E] died

[E] Silver moon sail up
And silver moon [A]
shine
[B] On the water so [E] wide
[A] The water so [B] wide
[E] Steal from the bed
Of some good friend [G#m] of [A] mine
[B] My dreams are withered and [E] [G#m] died
[A] If I was a butterfly
[G#m] I'd live [E] for [F#m] a day
[F#]
And [G#m] I could be [F#m] free
[C#m] Just blow [B] away
This [E]
cool blue-eyed country
Has driven me [A] down
[B] Tease me and [E] lie
[A]
tease [B] me and lie
[E] I've only sad stories
to tell to this town
[A] My
[B] dreams are withered [E] and died

dreams are withered and [E] died
