David Bromberg — Kaatskill Serenade

    	    	Вступление

[Chorus]
               A   B7              E
Where are the men that I used to sport with
               A   B7              E
What has become of my beautiful town
               A   B7              E
Wolf, my old friend, even you don't know me
               A   B7              E
This must be the end, my house is tumbled down


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


[Verse]
C#m              B    A
Seems like only this morning, I went up into the mountain
C#m              B    A
No word of warning, just her usual curse
C#m              B    A
I hated the house, with all her nagging and shouting
C#m              B    A
But to be in this strange world was a thousand times worse


[Chorus]
               A   B7              E
Where are the men that I used to sport with
               A   B7              E
What has become of my beautiful town
               A   B7              E
Wolf, my old friend, even you don't know me
               A   B7              E
This must be the end, my house is tumbled down


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


[Verse]
C#m              B    A
And you know that stolen liquor, it was sweeter than whiskey
C#m              B    A
Many times quicker, just to put me to sleep
C#m              B    A
That drinking with strangers can be very risky
C#m              B    A
My sleep it was long, it was twenty years deep


[Chorus]
C#m              B    A
Where are the men that I used to sport with
C#m              B    A
What has become of my beautiful town
C#m              B    A
Wolf, my old friend, even you don't know me
C#m              B    A
This must be the end, my house is tumbled down
