{c:Intro}                
[/] [Bm]  [/] [Bm]  [/] [Bm]  [/] [Bm]  


I'm [/] [Bm] headed for the [/] [G] lowlands
Would you [/] [G] please direct my [/] [D] way
The [/] [D] train is leaving [/] [A] shortly 
There's no [/] [A] time for de- [/] [Bm] lay [/] [Bm]


She [/] [Bm] told me she'd be [/] [G] waiting 
I'm [/] [G] not so sure she [/] [D] is
I [/] [D] heard that there's a- [/] [A] nother man 
Who [/] claims that she is [/] [Bm] his  [/] [Bm]   


{soc}
The  [/] [Bm] lowlands were my [/] [A] home... 
when [/] [A] I was but a [/] [Bm] child   [/] [Bm] [/] 
[/] [Bm] They will be my [/] [A] deathbed [/] 
[/] [A] when I've passed my [/] [Bm] time  [/] [Bm]   
{eoc}


I re- [/] [Bm] member one [/] [G] summer day... 
The [/] [G] clouds began to [/] [D] build
We [/] [D] gathered the [/] [A] cattle 
That had [/] [A] scattered cross the [/] [Bm] fields


Well it [/] [Bm] started to [/] [G] rain... 
and con- [/] tinued several [/] [D] days
The [/] [D] river over- [/] [A] flowed 
and the [/] crops all went to [/] [Bm] waste  [/] [Bm]   


{soc}
The  [/] [Bm] lowlands were my [/] [A] home... 
when [/] [A] I was but a [/] [Bm] child   [/] [Bm] [/] 
[/] [Bm] They will be my [/] [A] deathbed [/] 
[/] [A] when I've passed my [/] [Bm] time  [/] [Bm]

[/] [G]  [/] [G]  [/] [D]  [/] [D]  [/] 
[/] [A]  [/] [A]  [/] [Bm] [/] [Bm]  


You [/] [Bm] know that I'm no [/] [G] failure 
through my [/] [G] victories are [/] [D] few
I'm [/] [D] trying my [/] [A] best 
but there's [/] [A] too much here to [/] [Bm] do [/] [Bm]                                       


[/] [Bm] That girl I [/] [G] love once told me 
I [/] [G] made her feel se- [/] [D] cure
It's [/] [D] hard to think I've [/] [A] been replaced. 
[/] [A] Nothing does en- [/] [Bm] dure.
