In Times Like These

F#                       B       
The lakes and pines they bleed of
                  F#    B
 beauty and grace
       F#                B        
And the rivers they run wild like 
                 F#    B
an endless race
    F#                  B         
The forests soar so high then fall
                F#    B
 to the sea
   F#                    B     
As church bells ring and sing in 
                    F#    B
harmony

  G#m                    B        
I heard them say they're shuttin' 
         F#
Detroit down
   G#m                 B          
But I won't leave cuz' this is my 
    C#
hometown

         B          C#            
And it's times like these we can't
   F#
 replace
     B          C#          
It's times like these we must 
     F#
embrace
    B                C#          
And even though it's bittersweet 
F#            C#     B
and brings us to our knees
   G#m             B           
It makes us who we are, in times 
       F#
like these

    F#                       B    
The concrete and steel stand 
                  F#    B
strong against the wind
         F#               B       
With the memories of what was and 
             F#    B
what has been
    F#                   B        
The sounds of sweet soul music and
                 F#    B
 blue-collar blues
F#                         B     
There were 17 colors for a Chevy 
                    F#    B
all red white and blue

  G#m            B                
I heard them say that you can't 
        F#
save that town
    G#m            B              
But I won't leave, I will stand my 
C#
ground

         B          C#            
And it's times like these we can't
   F#
 replace
     B          C#          
It's times like these we must 
     F#

F#            C#     B

[Solo] always F# B

(no guitar)
The ice and snow give way to a new 
spring bloom

In the wake that hope and faith they
 will be home soon
  F#                   B       
A new day dawns as the good Lord 
              F#    B
shines from above
           F#                   
Cuz in the rubble and rust there 
 B                      F#    B
remains a whole lotta love

   G#m         B                  
And I was here watchin' it all go 
  F#
down
    G#m            B           
And I'll still be, when it comes 
       C#
back around

         B          C#            
And it's times like these we can't
   F#
 replace
     B          C#          
It's times like these we must 
     F#
embrace
    B                C#          
And even though it's bittersweet 
F#            C#     B
and brings us to our knees
   G#m             B           
It makes us who we are, in times 
       F#
