More chords by Kris Kristofferson


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
