The handpainted sign said

He met my Grandma, when she was

They?d spin Old No. 7, on the

They grew a little garden, they

started a family

What goes up, will come down

          G                        
Bridge:  When they finally closed, 
 Bm
the shadows fell
Bm       E            G          
Covered Cabbagetown, like a dirty 
  G
vail.

Woke up this morning, my eyes 
                E
were filled with tears
Bm                A         E   
I was dreaming of Grandpa, in 
               E
forty some odd years

Bm                A          E  
Now the mountains call to me, a 
                 E
lonely soulful sound
Bm            A            E    
Once I leave here, I ain?t
