[x2]
VERSE 1:
[F] Four and twenty
[A#/F] year ago, I
[F] come into this
[F] life
The
[F] son of a
[A#/F] woman and a
[F] man who lived in
[F] strive
[G#] He was
[A#] tired of being
[F] poor
[F]
And he
[G#] wasn't into
[A#] selling door to
[F] door
[F]
And he
[G#] worked like a
[A#] devil to be
[F] more
[F]
BREAK: [F] [A#/F] [F] [F]
VERSE 2:
A
[F] different kind of
[A#/F] poverty,
[F] now upsets me
[F] so
[F] Night after
[A#/F] sleepless night, I
[F] walk the floor and I want to
[F] know
[G#] Why am
[A#] I so a-
[F]-lone?
[F]
[G#] Where is my
[A#] woman, can I
[F] bring her home?
[F]
[G#] Have I driven her away,
[A#] is she
[F] gone?
[F]
BREAK: [F] [A#/F] [F] [F]
VERSE 3:
[F] Morning comes the
[A#/F] sunrise, and
[F] I'm driven to my
[F] bed
I
[F] see that it is
[G#] empty, and there's
[F] devils in my
[F] head
[G#] I, em-
[A#]-brace,
[F] the many coloured beast
[F]
I
[G#] grow weary of the
[A#] torment, can there
[F] be no peace?
[F]
And I
[G#] find myself just
[A#] wishing, that my life would
[F] simply
[F open] cease
