Kaatskill Serenade

C              F
Where are the men
G                       C
 that I used to sport with?
C            F
What has become
G                  C
  of my beautiful town?
C               F
Wolf, my old friend
G                   C
Even you don't know me
C                 F
This must be the end
G                     C
My house is tumbled down

[Verse 1]
Am                 G    F
 My land it was rich,  but I 
wouldn't work it
Am                  G           F
I guess I made a shrew of my wife
Am                 G             
My duty clear, I could always 
                F
find some way to shirk it
Am                  G            
I dreamed away the best years of 
     F
my life

Am                  G            
Seems like only this morning, I 
                 F
went up into the mountain
Am                 G              
No word of warning, just her usual 
 F
curse

Am                  G        
I hated the house, with all her 
                F
nagging and shouting
Am                   G           
But to be in this strange world 
           F
was a thousand times worse

[Chorus]
C              F
Where are the men
G                     C
that I used to sport with?
C            F
What has become
G                 C
of my beautiful town?

C              F
Wolf, my old friend
G               C
Even you don't know me
C                  F
This must be the end
G                    C
My house is tumbled down

[Verse 2]
Am                 G             
He called me by name, he bought 
           F
me that cheaply
Am                 G             
He called me by name, I didn't 
            F
know what to think
Am                   G           
I watched their loud games, and 
             F
oh, I drink deeply
Am                  G            
Though no-one had ever asked me 
     F
to drink

Am                          G    
And you know that stolen liquor, 
                        F
it was sweeter than whiskey
Am               G               
Many times quicker, just to put 
          F
me to sleep
Am                      G        
That drinking with strangers can 
          F
be very risky
Am                 G             
My sleep it was long, it was 
           F
twenty years deep

[Chorus]
C              F
Where are the men
G                      C
that I used to sport with?
C            F
What has become
G                 C
of my beautiful town?

C                F
Wolf, my old friend
G                C
Even you don't know me
C                F
This must be the end
G                   C
My house is tumbled down
