Verse 1
(D major) See (G major) the (D major) ruins on the hill where
the smoke (G major) is (E minor) hanging still
Like an (A major) echo of an age
long for (D major) gotten
There's a story of a home crushed be
(G major) neath those blackened (E minor) stones
And the (A major) roof that fell be (G major) fore
the beams were (A major) rotten
Cecil (D major) Darby loved his wife and
he (G major) labored all (E minor) his life
To provide (A major) her with material posses (D major) sions
Verse 2
And he (D major) built for her a home of
the finest (G major) wood (E minor) and stone
And the (A major) building soon be
came (G major) his sole obses (A major) sion
Oh it (G major) took three hundred days (A major)
for the (D major) timbers to be raised
And the silhouette (G major) was seen (D major)
for miles around (A major)
And (G major) the gables (D major) reached as high
as the (G major) eagles in (E minor) the sky
But it (A major) only took one night (G major) to bring it down (A major)
When Darby's castle tumbled
to the ground
(D major)

Verse 3
(B flat major)
Though they shared (E flat major) the common
bed there was (A flat major) precious little (F minor) said
In the (B flat major) moments that were
set aside for sleep (E flat major) ing
For (A flat major) his (E flat major) busy dreams were filled with
the (A flat major) rooms he'd yet (F minor) to build
And he (B flat major) never heard young
(A flat major) Helen Darby (B flat major) weeping (E flat major)
Then one night he (F minor) heard the sound (A flat major) (C major) an
d as he laid (F minor) his pencil down (B flat major)
He traced it to her door and turned (E flat major)
the handle
And the pale light of the moon through
the window (A flat major) (C minor) of her room (F minor)
Split the shad (B flat major) ows where
two (A flat major) bodies lay in (B flat major) tangle
Oh it (A flat major) took three hundred days
Outro 1
(B flat major) (E flat major)
(A flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major) (E flat major)
(A flat major) (C minor) (F minor) (B flat major) (A flat major) (B flat major)
