Darby's Castle Written and recorded by Kris Kristofferson
C Am See the ruin on the hill F Am Dm Where the smoke is hangin' still G7 C Like an echo of an age long forgotten
Am There's a story of a home F Am Dm Crushed beneath those blackened stones G G7 G And the roof that fell before the beams were rotten
C Am Cecil Darby loved his wife F Am Dm And he labored all his life G7 C To provide her with material possessions
Am And he built for her a home F Am Dm Of the finest wood and stone G G7 G And the building soon became his sole obsession
F G7 Oh it took 300 days C Am For the timbers to be raised F C G7 And the silhouette was seen from miles around C Am And the gables reached as high F Am Dm As the eagles in the sky G G7 G But it only took one night to bring it down G7 C When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground
Am Though they shared a common bed F Am Dm There was precious little said G7 C In the moments that were set aside for sleepin' Am For his busy dreams were filled F Am Dm With the rooms he'd yet to build
G G7 G And he never heard young Helen Darby weepin'
C Am Then one night he heard a sound F Am Dm As he layed his pencil down G7 C And he traced it to her door and turned the handle Am And the pale light of the moon F Am Dm Through the window of the room G G7 G Split the shadows where two bodies lay entangled
F G7 Oh it took 300 days C Am For the timbers to be raised F C G7 And the silhouette was seen from miles around C Am And the gables reached as high F Am Dm As the eagles in the sky G G7 G But it only took one night to bring it down G7 C When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground
