As with the rest of the "Song For Patty" album, there has been a change to the original speed, meaning the 
pitch is off unless you detune precisely. Just in case you try and play along but find it awkward.
Intro: D G x 4
Tell me Dwho'll be left to Gcry
When the Dfuneral passes Gby
The DStatue of GLiberty as she's Dcrumblin'
Will we make her dyin' Gbed
Place a Dwreath upon her Ghead
And say it was Dbound to happen Gsooner or Dlater
Chorus:
The Gcurtain's going Adown
And the Dfeel of an Gold ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turning Around
Well the Gworld ain't worth a Adime
When the DLiberty Bell has Gceased its chime
I Dthink then we'll A7know it's closin' Dtime
How Dcan a Bluebird Gsing
In the Dmiddle of a Gspring
With a Dbroken heart of Ginterfered diDrection 
How Dcan a dew drop Gfall
On a Dmountain once so Gtall 
That's been Dcovered with a Gblanket of deDception
Chorus:
The Gcurtain's going Adown
And the Dfeel of an Gold ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turning Around
Well the Gworld ain't worth a Adime
When the DLiberty Bell has Gceased its chime
I Dthink then we'll A7know it's closin' Dtime
In the Dmiddle of a Gdream
I heard the Dhelpless children Gscream 
As they Dwalked the plank of a Gdisengaged toDmorrow
Though we Dknow the graves are Gdug 
It's been Dswept beneath the Grug 
But Dno more time will Gthere be left to Dborrow
Chorus:
The Gcurtain's going Adown
And the Dfeel of an Gold ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turning Around
Well the Gworld ain't worth a Adime
When the DLiberty Bell has Gceased its chime
I Dthink then we'll A7know it's closin' Dtime
The Dtestimony's Gread
And the Dlast regards are Gsaid 
While vicDtorious moss is Gformin' in the Dalley
The Dmaster's with the Gking
In the Dcenter of the Gring 
While the Dbugle sounds the Gdoomsday grande fiDnale
Chorus:
The Gcurtain's going Adown
And the Dfeel of an Gold ghost town
Will soon make the clock quit turning Around
Well the Gworld ain't worth a Adime
When the DLiberty Bell has Gceased its chime
I Dthink then we'll A7know it's closin' Dtime

On a mountain once so tall

In the center of the ring
