lowlands  door-to-door,  Like a latter day saint.                  Then you turn me out

                            E                   Am                                                                      Em

At the top of the stairs.             You took all the glory,    That you just couldn’t share.  Chorus

                 Am                 Em  n/c  Em        C                           Bm                                        E

.Oh my brother be careful,  You are drifting away.      Chorus
