I know it's not exactly right, but it's simple and
leaves room to work out how to sing the really deep
notes in the song.

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
