Darbys Castle

C                   Am
See the ruin on the hill
          F        Am      Dm
Where the smoke is hangin' still
        G7                 
Like an echo of an age long 
 C
forgotten

                     Am
There's a story of a home
          F           Am        
Crushed beneath those blackened 
Dm
stones
        G              G7         
And the roof that fell before the 
           G
beams were rotten
      C               Am
Cecil Darby loved his wife
       F       Am      Dm
And he labored all his life
   G7                       
To provide her with material 
 C
possessions

                       Am
And he built for her a home
       F      Am       Dm
Of the finest wood and stone
        G             G7       
And the building soon became his 
       G
sole obsession

      F        G7
Oh it took 300 days

        C             Am
For the timbers to be raised
        F              C       
And the silhouette was seen from 
        G7
miles around
        C                 Am
And the gables reached as high
       F      Am     Dm
As the eagles in the sky
       G             G7           
But it only took one night to 
     G
bring it down
                    G7             
When Darby's castle tumbled to the 
C
ground

                            Am
Though they shared a common bed
          F        Am     Dm
There was precious little said
       G7                          
In the moments that were set aside 
    C
for sleepin'
                         Am
For his busy dreams were filled
         F          Am     Dm
With the rooms he'd yet to build

       G           G7             
And he never heard young Helen 
   G
Darby weepin'

     C                    Am
Then one night he heard a sound
      F         Am     Dm
As he layed his pencil down
       G7                       
And he traced it to her door and 
            C
turned the handle
                          Am
And the pale light of the moon
            F      Am     Dm
Through the window of the room
          G             G7        
Split the shadows where two bodies
       G
 lay entangled

       F        G7
 Oh it took 300 days
         C             Am
 For the timbers to be raised
         F              C         
 And the silhouette was seen from 
      G7
miles around
         C                 Am
 And the gables reached as high
        F      Am     Dm
 As the eagles in the sky
        G             G7          
 But it only took one night to 
      G
bring it down
                     G7            
 When Darby's castle tumbled to the
