G Em
See the ruin on the hill
C Em Am
where the smoke is hangin still
D G
like an echo of an age long forgotten
G Em
there's a story of a home
C Em Am
crushed beneath those blackened stones
D D7 D
and the roof that fell before the beams were rotten
G Em
Cecil Darby loved his wife
C Em Am
and he labored all his life
D G
to provide her with material possessions
G Em
and he built for her a home
C Em Am
of the finest wood and stone
D D7 D
and the building soon became his sole obsession
C D
oh it took 300 days
G Em
for the timbers to be raised
C G D
and the silhouette was seen from miles around
G Em
and the gables reached as high
C - Em - Am
as the eagles in the sky
D D7
but it only took one night to bring it down
D D7 G
when Darby's castle tumbled to the ground
G Em
Though they shared a common bed
