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
