Open in Bluegrass Book: transpose, play alongVerse 1
G Em At the east end of town At the foot of a hill D C G There’s a chimney so tall That says “Aragon Mill” G Em But there’s no smoke at all Comin’ out of the stack For the mill has pulled out And they ain’t comin’ back
Chorus
G Em And the only sound I hear is the sound of the wind D C D G As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
Verse 2
G Em There’s no children at all In the narrow, empty streets D C G Since the looms have all gone It’s so quiet I can’t sleep. G Em Now I’m too old to change And I’m too young to die And there’s no place to go For my woman and I.
Verse 3
G Em Now the mill has closed down It’s the only sound I know D C G Tell me where will I go? Tell me where will I go?
