Bm               G                                D
I'm headed for the lowlands would you please direct my way
                     A                              Bm
The train is leaving shortly there's no time for de-lay
     Bm              G                            D
She told me she'd be waiting I'm not so sure she is
                     A                                  Bm 
I heard that there's another man who claims that she is his

[Chorus]
       Bm           A                        Bm
The lowlands were my home when I was but a child
                   A                          Bm  
they will be my deathbed when I've passed my time

     Bm        G                               D
I remember one summer day the clouds began to build
                A                                    Bm  
We gathered the cattle that had scattered cross the fields
                   G                          D 
Well it started to rain and continued several days
                 A                               Bm 
The river over-flowed and the crops all went to waste

     Bm               G                                D  
You know that I'm no failure through my victories are few
              A                                 Bm                                        
I'm trying my best but there's too much here to do
            G                                   D
That girl I love once told me I made her feel se-cure
                        A                              Bm
It's hard to think I've been replaced. Nothing does en-dure.
