[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThey tore down the church, and the schoolhouse burned. [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] \r\nThey dug up the graves, the wheels of progress turned.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThey got Dutchie’s Store, and Hayden’s Pool Hall, [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWhen the dozers rolled, it shattered us all.[/tab]\r\n\r\nChorus:\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThe dusky waters move cold and slow, [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd the ghosts of the village still wander below.[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHomesteads of families and friends forever more, [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] (Choke)\r\nHaunting the valley below this sparkling shore.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nInstrumental Break \r\n[ch]Am[/ch] / [ch]F[/ch] / [ch]G[/ch] / [ch]Am[/ch] / [ch]Dm[/ch] / [ch]G[/ch] / [ch]Am[/ch] (Choke)\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nOld May Savage stayed as long as she could.[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nHer house on the hill towered over the flood.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIt rose up alone, in the dark of night, [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIts face on the water, in the cold moonlight.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI shake off the memories, on my lips a prayer.
