Even with all of his really big hits , this is my favorite Garth Brooks
tune. This is how I play it. Corrections, comments or additions welcome.

THE ONES THE WOLVES PULLED DOWN
by GARTH BROOKS
D G D G
January's always bitter, but lord this one beats all
D
The wind ain't quit for weeks now,
G A
And the drifts are ten feet tall
G A D G
I've been all night drivin' hefers, closer in to lower ground
D A
And I spent the mornin' thinkin',
nc D G A
About the ones the wolves pulled down
D G D G
Charlie Barton and his family, stopped today to say goodbye
D G A
Said the bank was takin' over, the last few years were just too dry
G A D G
And I promised that I'd visit, when they found a place in town
D A
D G A
And I spent a long time thinkin', about the ones the wolves pulled
down
Chorous:
G A D G D Em A D
Lord please shine a light of hope, on those of us who fall behind
G A D G D Em
And when we stumble in the snow
A D
Will you help us up while there's still time
G D
I don't mean to be complainin' lord you've always seen me through
G A
And I know you've got your reasons for each and every thing you do
G A D G
But tonight outside my window there's a lonesome mournful sound
D A
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
D G A
About the ones the wolves pulled down
D A D
Lord keep me from being the one the wolves pull down
