E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lean in, friend; lean in, friend,
BB E MajorE
And I'll tell you a tale.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Be good, friend; be good friend,
BB E MajorE
As I tread the stage a while.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
'Twas late in the day, the day after the fair,
BB E MajorE
When I heard tell of her.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
She lived so far away - further, farther and
BB E MajorE
Beyond - and well you know they say...
E MajorE F# minorF#m
She was old as the hills, and worn as a train
BB
On rails of old steel wool,
E MajorE
She was old as the hills.
E MajorE
And her sons were all gone,
F# minorF#m BB
Killed in battle won by someone above,
E MajorE
Instead of coming on home.
E MajorE
And her daughters were gone,
F# minorF#m BB
Followed love and they'd run to the city below,
E MajorE
Instead of coming on home.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
BB
On rails of old steel wool,
E MajorE
She was old as the hills.
E MajorE
She had a bullet in her bonnet -
F# minorF#m
The last that she owned -
BB
And a gun in her pocket,
E MajorE
To keep her strong as she roamed.
E MajorE
She went fishing in the shallows,
F# minorF#m
For eels and minnows,
BB
Which she fried up so nicely,
E MajorE
All salty and spicy.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
BB
On rails of old steel wool,
E MajorE
She was old as the hills.
E MajorE
And her dog was gone,
F# minorF#m
Whom she'd cared for so long,
BB E MajorE
Fed whiskey and plums, on his lavender bed.
E MajorE
And her love was gone,
F# minorF#m
When he'd heard the sea's song,
BB
He left the shore all alone
E MajorE
To travel the world around.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
BB
On rails of old steel wool,
E MajorE
