Verse 1
C 
farmer's tale
F 
of a strange dark night
Am 
G 
As I   walked in the fields of St. James
C 
It was midnight when
F 
the heavens fell
Am 
G 
Hurling down a comet of flames
C 
With the blazing crash,
F 
Am 
it came to rest at the foot of
G 
old Lonergan's home
C 
A most peculiar stone
F 
with a bright green glow,
Am 
G 
and it called my name when it spoke
C 
I took it to the butcher,
G 
he said he didn't know
C 
G 
I took it to the baker, he said he didn't know
C 
I took it to the tailor,
G 
he said he didn't know
F 
But the priest said to bury it
G 
six feet below
C 
F 
Am 
Oh -oh, oh -oh, oh -oh, oh -oh,
G 
C 
F 
Am 
oh -oh, oh -oh, oh -oh
G 
C 
When I think back now
F 
to the fathers words,
Am 
G 
oh I wish I had heeded them well
C 
Am 
F 
But the magic stone had powers strange
Am 
G 
and soon I was under its spell
C 
Am 
F 
As I passed found out at the county fair
Am 
G 
when I bet on a pony to win
C 
F 
He was glowing green just for my eyes
Am 
G 
and soon I was ranking it in
C 
I took it to the butcher,
G 
he said he didn't know
C 
G 
I took it to the baker, he said he didn't know
C 
I took it to the tailor,
Em 
he said he didn't know

G 
C 
Well it wasn't long
F 
before I traded my farm
Am 
G 
for a castle way up on the hill
C 
Am 
F 
Gave the old egg up for thoroughbreds,
Am 
fine -trained old friends
G 
for new ones with frills
C 
Till one cold night
Am 
F 
and a   flash from the sky
Am 
G 
and a strange stone left with no trace
C 
F 
Took the castle and the sink with it
Am 
G 
and left me nothing in a field of disgrace
