words/music C. Fraher

V
C F

C

(Ooohhh
Am
‘Til the floorboards wore through
F G

C F

E7 Am
They seemed to know what they were doing.

C F
So we struck the old meeting hall down,
E7 G
And danced ‘til the embers died out.
C G
And you couldn’t see daylight between us,
Am Dm
Though we felt somehow they’d deceived us.


Outro

Am Dm E7 F
