     C       G      C     G
  It's the sCame with men as with horses and dFogs
  NoCthing wGants to dCie
  EtChel and james they killed in a gFame
  With gCuns too big fGor their hands
  JCust off Saint Charles, in nFo-man's land
  And you'll hCave to find your oGwn way hCome, bFoys,
  You'll hCave to find your oGwn way hCome
  The olCdest was Troy, an eighteen year old bFoy
  Shot dCead in maGrch, in a robCbery
  His brCothers started out, to hell and to rFuin
  Troy's kiCllers were never, caGught they say
  YoCung Nick, he just went bFad that day
  Now he'll hCave to find his oGwn way hCome, bFoy's,
  He'll hCave to find his oGwn way hCome
  GWhy cook dinner,  Cwhy make my bed,  Gwhy come home, at Call
  OFut the door and thCrough the wAmoods,
  There's a wCorld where noAmthing gEmrowsG  
  It's hCard to say grace, and to sit in the pFlace
  Of someone miCssing Gat the tCableG  
  Mom's hCair sprayed tight and her face in her hFands
  WatCching T.V. for aGnswers to me
  AfCter all she's only huFman 
  And she's trCying to find her oGwn way hCome, bFoy's
  She's trCying to find her oGwn way hCome
  CMy legs aGche, my hCeart is sFore, the wCell is fGull of peAmnnies

FALL OF TROY

(Waits/Brennan)

C G C G

C F

It's the same with men as with horses and dogs

C G C

Nothing wants to die

C F

Ethel and james they killed in a game

C G

With guns too big for their hands

C F

Just off Saint Charles, in no-man's land

C G C F

And you'll have to find your own way home, boys,

C G C

You'll have to find your own way home

C F

The oldest was Troy, an eighteen year old boy

C G C

Shot dead in march, in a robbery

C F

His brothers started out, to hell and to ruin

C G

Troy's killers were never, caught they say

C F

Young Nick, he just went bad that day

C G C F

Now he'll have to find his own way home, boy's,

C G C

He'll have to find his own way home

G C G C

Why cook dinner, why make my bed, why come home, at all

F C Am

Out the door and through the woods,

C Am Em G

There's a world where nothing grows

C F

It's hard to say grace, and to sit in the place

C G C G

Of someone missing at the table

C F

Mom's hair sprayed tight and her face in her hands

C G

Watching T.V. for answers to me

C F

After all she's only human

C G C F

And she's trying to find her own way home, boy's

C G C

She's trying to find her own way home

C G C F C G Am

My legs ache, my heart is sore, the well is full of pennies
