ELean in, friend; F#mlean in, friend,
BAnd I'll tell you a Etale.
EBe good, friend; F#mbe good friend,
BAs I tread the stageE a while.
E'Twas late in the dF#may, the day after the fair,
BWhen I heard tell ofE her.
EShe lived so far awF#may - further, farther and
BBeyond - and well youE know they say...
EShe was old as the hills, F#mand worn as a train
BOn rails of old steel wool,
EShe was old as the hills.
EAnd her sons were all gone,
F#mKilled in battle wBon by someone above,
EInstead of coming on home.
EAnd her daughters were gone,
F#mFollowed love and they'd Brun to the city below,
EInstead of coming on home.
EShe was old as the hills aF#mnd worn as a train,
BOn rails of old steel wool,
EShe was old as the hills.
EShe had a bullet in her bonnet -
F#mThe last that she owned -
BAnd a gun in her pocket,
ETo keep her strong as she roamed.
EShe went fishing in the shallows,
F#mFor eels and minnows,
BWhich she fried up so nicely,
EAll salty and spicy.
EShe was old as the hills aF#mnd worn as a train,
BOn rails of old steel wool,
EShe was old as the hills.
EAnd her dog was gone,
F#mWhom she'd cared for so long,
BFed whiskey and plums, Eon his lavender bed.
EAnd her love was gone,
F#mWhen he'd heard the sea's song,
BHe left the shore all alone
ETo travel the world around.
EShe was old as the hills aF#mnd worn as a train,
BOn rails of old steel wool,
EShe was old as the hills.
