E                F#m
Lean in, friend; lean in, friend,
B                   E
And I'll tell you a tale.
E                F#m
Be good, friend; be good friend,
B                   E
As I tread the stage a while.
E                  F#m
'Twas late in the day, the day after the fair,
B                   E
When I heard tell of her.
E                  F#m
She lived so far away - further, farther and
B                    E
Beyond - and well you know they say...

E                         F#m
She was old as the hills, and worn as a train
B
On rails of old steel wool,
E
She was old as the hills.
E
And her sons were all gone,
F#m               B
Killed in battle won by someone above,
E
Instead of coming on home.
E
And her daughters were gone,
F#m                      B
Followed love and they'd run to the city below,
E
Instead of coming on home.


E                         F#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
B
On rails of old steel wool,
E
She was old as the hills.

E
She had a bullet in her bonnet -
F#m
The last that she owned -
B
And a gun in her pocket,
E
To keep her strong as she roamed.
E
She went fishing in the shallows,
F#m
For eels and minnows,
B
Which she fried up so nicely,
E
All salty and spicy.


E                         F#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
B
On rails of old steel wool,
E
She was old as the hills.

E
And her dog was gone,
F#m
Whom she'd cared for so long,
B                      E
Fed whiskey and plums, on his lavender bed.
E
And her love was gone,
F#m
When he'd heard the sea's song,
B
He left the shore all alone
E
To travel the world around.


E                         F#m
She was old as the hills and worn as a train,
B
On rails of old steel wool,
E
