[Intro] E  D  C#m  D  E  D  C#m  D  E

E                       D
Hours of joy when I was just a boy
          A
And never wrong I knew
E                       D
Kites of red would fly above my head
                A
The birds would sing their song
    C#m
Now something's wrong
A                          C#m
Where the Sherwood used to be
A                 Bm  B  E     D   D/C#   D
Neon brambles now I can see

E                       D
Fields of corn on early summer mornings
        A
Or late afternoons
E                   D
Anytime there was a place to find
                  A
Where life seemed not so soon
    C#m
Now all too soon
A                       C#m
Is this where I used to be?
A                 Bm   B  E    D   D/C#   D
Still remembering what is me

C#m  B  A                C#m
      And I won't even try
B  A                C#m
  To find a reason why
Bm          B            D
I must live here just to die

( E  D  A  E  D  A )

    C#m
Now something's wrong
A                          C#m
Where the Sherwood used to be
A                 Bm  B  E     D  D/C#  D
Neon brambles now I can see

( E  D  A )
