Kaatskill Serenade

C F Where are the men G C that I used to sport with? F What has become G C of my beautiful town? C F Wolf, my old friend G C Even you don't know me C F This must be the end G C My house is tumbled down Am G F My land it was rich, but I wouldn't work it Am G F I guess I made a shrew of my wife Am G F My duty clear, I could always find some way to shirk it Am G F I dreamed away the best years of my life Am G F Seems like only this morning, I went up into the mountain Am G F No word of warning, just her usual curse Am G F I hated the house, with all her nagging and shouting Am G F But to be in this strange world was a thousand times worse C F Where are the men G C that I used to sport with? C F What has become G C of my beautiful town? C F Wolf, my old friend G C Even you don't know me C F This must be the end G C My house is tumbled down Am G F He called me by name, he bought me that cheaply Am G F He called me by name, I didn't know what to think Am G F I watched their loud games, and oh, I drink deeply Am G F Though no-one had ever asked me to drink Am G F And you know that stolen liquor, it was sweeter than whiskey Am G F Many times quicker, just to put me to sleep Am G F That drinking with strangers can be very risky Am G F My sleep it was long, it was twenty years deep C F Where are the men G C that I used to sport with? C F What has become G C of my beautiful town? C F Wolf, my old friend G F Even you don't know me C F This must be the end G C My house is tumbled down
