This Town

Cm7     F/C     Cm7     Eb

[ Verse 1 ]
Fm/C     Cm7
    It's closing time the boys are all together at the bar
F
Staring in their glasses
                          Cm7           Eb6/C
Looks like another layoff at the yard.
Cm7
Yesterday I heard union hall come down
                   F
They hit it with a wrecking ball
                                 Cm7
And they try but nothing changes in this town

[ Chorus 1 ]
Eb
Cap in hand stood in line
     Bb                              F
Your family ties are the chains that bind
    Eb
The endless wheel goes round and round
Bb                                      F
Chances are you'll never leave this town
Continues after the ad
G         Cm7   F/C     Cm7     Eb
  Oh oh no

[ Verse 2 ]
       Cm7
Like a river now the empty streets are flooded out with rain
     F
It's falling on the playground
                                      Cm7               Eb6/C
While the kids get wet playing the same old games
Cm7
Locked away so many things remind them of war
                F
They tap the pavement with their canes
                           Cm7
The good old days ain't so good no more

[ Chorus 2 ]
Eb
Cap in hand stood in line
     Bb                              F
Your family ties are the chains that bind
    Eb
The endless wheel goes round and round
Bb                                      F
Chances are you'll never leave this town
G         Cm7   F/C     Cm7     Eb
  Oh oh no
