Withered And Died Chords by Elvis Costello

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D]
This cruel old country has [A] driven [D] me down _
Leads me [D] in light, [G]
leads me [Am] in light
[D] I've only sad stories to tell to this [G] town
[A] My dreams have withered [D] and died
_ _ [G] Once I was bending the [F#m] tops [Em] of the trees
Kind thoughts in my head, [Bm] kind voices [A] to _ hear
_ [D]
Then I took up with a girl [G] from the west
[A]
They'd [D] run and hide, [G]
they'd [A] run and hide
[D]
Count one to ten and she's gone [G] like the rest
[A]
My dreams have _ [D] withered and died
_ [G] If I was a butterfly, _ [F#m]
live [Em] for a day
[F#m]
I could [Bm] be free, [Bm] just blow [A] it away _ _
[G] _ _ [D] Silver moon sail up and silver [G] moon shine
[A] On the water [D] so wide, [G] water [A] so wide
[D] Slipped from the bed of a good [G] friend of mine
[A] My dreams have _ [D] withered and died
_ _ [G] Once I was bending [F#] the tops [Em] of the trees
[F#m] Kind thoughts [Em] in my head, [Bm] kind voices [A]
to hear
_ _ _ [D]
This cruel old country has driven [G] me down
[A] _
Leads [D] me in light, [G] _
leads me [A] in light _
[D] I've only sad stories to tell to this [G] town
[A] My dreams have withered [Bm] and died _ _
My dreams have withered [G] and _ died _
My dreams have withered [D] and died
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
