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 
 
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
