Shutting Down Our Town

[Verse 1]
Am
This used to be a place
         C
Where a man could find some work
G                         F
Put together Holdens or a foundry 
job at worst
      Am
I can hear the noises coming
         C                     
From the Karawara deep into the 
 G
night
    Am                         
The roads were filled with kids 
 C
playing after dark
G                                  
Sent to get their fathers who were 
F
sitting at the bar
Am                       C       
Eat, sleep, work, drink, that's 
             G
all they ever did


[Chorus]
        Am
They're shutting down our town
        C
They're cutting down our town
F                            G
No more production line blue collar 
can be found
        Am
They'll tear it to the ground
        C                 G
They're shutting down our town
                              Am
Oh, they're shutting down our town

[Verse 2]
  Am                   C
I started raising hell before I came
 of age
G                         F
Running from my past with clenched 
fists of rage
      Am                     C
And I fought my way through, every 
other day
              G
Never looking back

         Am                    C
Woah and everything I knew was back 
there on those streets
G                    F
Every lesson learned kept me on my 
feet
      Am                        
But I can't help thinking of the 
 C               G
ones I left behind


[Chorus]
        Am
They're shutting down our town
        C
They're cutting down our town
F                            G
No more production line blue collar 
can be found
        Am
They'll tear it to the ground
        C                 G
They're shutting down our town
                              Am
Oh, they're shutting down our town

[Bridge]
                              F
Oh, they're shutting down our town
                        Am
They're tearing out its heart
                  C                
It wasn't much to look at from the 
     G
very start
           F
Herded all together
                    Am
From many different lands
                    F     G
The old folks stand around
                                Am
While they're shutting down our town

Am    G    Am C
Woah, oh-oh
                               F
Yeah they're shutting down our town
Am    G    Am C
Woah, oh-oh
                          F   Am G
They're shutting down our town


[Verse]
      Am
And I finally came back home
C
Found some peace at last
    G                             
Was time to stop running from the 
F
demons of my past
Am
Some that I remember
        G                         
But the rest are changing way too 
F
fast


[Chorus]
        Am
They're shutting down our town
        C
They're cutting down our town
F                            G
No more production line blue collar 
can be found
        Am
They'll tear it to the ground
        C                 G
They're shutting down our town
                              Am  C
Oh, they're shutting down our town
                          F   Am
They're shutting down our town
                 G             
You know they'll tear it to the 
 Am   C
ground
                           F
Yeah they're shutting down our town
Am    G     Am C
Woah, oh-oh
                       F      Am
They'll tear it to the ground
      G    Am C
Woah, oh-oh
                       F
They're shutting down our town
Am           G                  Am
Yeah they're shutting down our town
