Verse 1:

A minorAm      E minorEm      G+G
The old man's been stealing
A minorAm      E minorEm      G+G
She's holding her grievance for a hundred-odd years
A minorAm     E minorEm    G+G
We all keep believing
A minorAm      E minorEm       G+G
That history repeats itself year after year

Verse 2:

A minorAm  E minorEm     G+G     A minorAm
All I fear's that the future is worse
A minorAm   E minorEm      G+G        A minorAm
We have to give in to the hundred-year curse
A minorAm      E minorEm     G+G     A minorAm
Sweat in the sun like we're diggin' a grave
A minorAm    E minorEm       G+G       A minorAm
Dig deep enough and our fortune we'll save

A minorAm    E minorEm    G+G       A minorAm
"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
A minorAm        E minorEm      G+G      A minorAm
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,"
A minorAm        E minorEm   G+G     A minorAm
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
A minorAm       E minorEm    G+G     A minorAm
He cries to the mo-oo-n, "If only, if only."

A minorAm     E minorEm     G+G
Chasin' the skirt of a beautiful wife
A minorAm    E minorEm        G+G
You make mistakes and it's my back that breaks
A minorAm     E minorEm   G+G
And forever my past steals my life
A minorAm      E minorEm    G+G
To submission I'm beat but there's hope beneath these feet

A minorAm      E minorEm      G+G       A minorAm
Blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind
A minorAm        E minorEm     G+G         A minorAm
You don't let it eat 'til it can't help but be kind
A minorAm           E minorEm         G+G      A minorAm
'Cause you know what's important with your back to the wall
A minorAm      E minorEm           G+G           A minorAm
You can break metal chains when your friends don't let you fall

A minorAm    E minorEm    G+G       A minorAm
"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
A minorAm        E minorEm      G+G      A minorAm
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,"
A minorAm        E minorEm   G+G     A minorAm
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
A minorAm       E minorEm    G+G     A minorAm
He cries to the mo-oo-n, "If only, if only."

I have no blade, I'm more like a feather
