VERSE 1:
[E] Four and twenty
[A/E] year ago, I
[E] come into this
[E] life
The
[E] son of a
[A/E] woman and a
[E] man who lived in
[E] strive
[G] He was
[A] tired of being
[E] poor
[E]
And he
[G] wasn't into
[A] selling door to
[E] door
[E]
And he
[G] worked like a
[A] devil to be
[E] more
[E]

VERSE 2:
A
[E] different kind of
[A/E] poverty,
[E] now upsets me
[E] so
[E] Night after
[A/E] sleepless night, I
[E] walk the floor and I want to
[E] know
[G] Why am
[A] I so a-
[E]-lone?
[E]
[G] Where is my
[A] woman, can I
[E] bring her home?
[E]
[G] Have I driven her away,
[A] is she
[E] gone?
[E]
BREAK: [E] [A/E] [E] [E]
VERSE 3:
[E] Morning comes the
[A/E] sunrise, and
[E] I'm driven to my
[E] bed
I
[E] see that it is
[G] empty, and there's
[E] devils in my
[E] head
[G] I, em-
[A]-brace,
[E] the many coloured beast
[E]
I
[G] grow weary of the
[A] torment, can there
[E] be no peace?
[E]
And I
[G] find myself just
[A] wishing, that my life would
[E] simply
[E open] cease
