C Am G Am G
[Verse 1]
C Am F C C
He comes in each evening where the music is loud
Am F G G
And keeps to himself in a blue collared crowd
F Am F
He once had a future he had it all
C Am G Am G
Built his world around a woman but now he will fall
[Verse 2]
C Am F C C
They say he was married to a Birmingham dream
Am F G G
He built her a mansion fit for a queen
F Am F F
But she upped and left him for some fool from St. Paul
C Am G C C
She tore down his mansion and left him with walls
[Chorus]
F
Ever since she's been gone
C C
He's fenced back in stones around his heart
F D D7
And he won't tear them down while her memory's still around
G Dm7 G G
So he just sits there alone in the dark
[Solo]
| C | Am | F | C |
| C | Am | G | C | C
[Chorus]
F
Ever since she's been gone
C C
He's fenced back in stones around his heart
F D D7
And he won't tear them down while her memory's still around
G Dm7 G G
So he just sits there alone in the dark
[Verse 3]
C Am F C G
He comes in each evening where the music is loud
C Am F G G
And keeps to himself in a blue collared crowd
F Am F F
He once had a future, oh he had it all
C Am G C C
Built his world around a woman but now he built a wall
