[E] [A]
[C#] [D] [A]
It's been ten [C#] long years [D] since I left [A] the house
In the mall where I [Em] smoke
Where [A] the [C#] cool long [D] nights and the [A] woods so hot
And the [E] box hunter blew [A]
his horn
I fell in [D] love with a girl [A] in the mountains
I thought that she would [E] be true
[A] I [C#] ran away [D] to [A] Charley's Hill
And you did [E] not saw [A] me there
[E] What have they [A] done with the old folks?
[B] Why did they [E] tear it down?
[A] And why did [C#] I leave [D] a blood
[A] And the foreign job in the town?
[C#] [D]

[A] [C#] [D]
[A] [E] [A]
[C#] [D] I told [A] somebody else that the parents took [E] my pay
[A] And now I stand [D] by the old [A] folks
The old [E] man took [A] it on me
Out of the east by town [D] and the wind [A] blows cold
As I stand here and [E] hang my head
[A] I've lost my [D] love, I've [A] lost my heart
And now [E] I wish that [A] I was dead
[E] What have they [A] done with the old folks?
[B] Why [E] did they tear it down?
[A] And why [C#] did I [D] leave a [A] blood
And the foreign job in the town?
