Our Little Town

G

[Verse 1]
                  C                
Now, the railroad came generations 
 G
ago
             D7                    
And the town grew up, as the crops 
    G
did grow
                   C            
And the crops grew well, and the 
           G
town did, too
              D7                 
They say it's dying now and there 
         G
ain't a thing we can do

[Chorus 1]
                C               
I don't have to read the news or 
                G
hear it on the radio
                D7                 
I see it in the faces of everyone I
 G
 know
         C                         
The cost goes up, what we made 
  G
comes down
             D7                   
What's gonna happen to our little 
G
town?

[Verse 2]
                     C           
The summer's full of thunder, the 
              G
kids run and play
               D7                  
Mama got a new wrinkle, Papa ain't 
            G
got much to say
            C                 G
Rust grows along the railroad track
Continúa después del anuncio
                D7               
The young folks leave, they don't 
      G
come back

[Chorus 2]
                    C              
And I don't have to read the news 
                 G
or hear it on the radio
                D7                
I see it in the faces of everyone I 
G
know
              C                 
The boards go up, the signs come 
 G
down
                 D7           
And what's gonna happen to our 
        G
little town?

[Verse 3]
             C                 G
Tom lost his farm, and we lost Tom
               D7                  
He left in the night, I don't know 
           G
where he's gone
          C                     
What he'd lost, he just couldn't 
 G
face
           D7                 
What we're losing, it can't be 
   G
replaced

[Chorus 3]
                    C              
And I don't have to read the news 
                 G
or hear it on the radio
                D7                 
I see it in the faces of everyone I
 G
 know
                 C                 
The reason we're here, is the farms
  G
 around
                D7                 
So what's gonna happen to our 
  G
little town?

[Verse 4]
           C                    
We've seen hard times many times 
 G
before
           D7                  G
Maybe this whole thing is just one 
more
             C                     
It never was perfect, maybe no 
     G
one's to blame
          D7                   
To see it die like this, it's a 
         G
goddamn shame

[Chorus 4]
                    C              
And I don't have to read the news 
                 G
or hear it on the radio
                D7                 
I see it in the faces of everyone I
 G
 know
              C                G
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
                 D7           
But what's gonna happen to our 
        G
little town?
