I set out on Monday the night was cold and vast  
 (Guit Riff 1)  
and my brother slept  
Gm  
and though i left quite quietly  
 { G F# F D F(lo)} (guit Riff 1)  
my father raged and raged and my mother wept  
Gm  
now, my life was like a river all sucked into the ground  
 G# Gm  
and then the hammer came down, Lord the hammer came down  
 
Repeat until:
