[Intro]
Am C F Am G
Am C F Am G
[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 G
From the Karawara deep into the night
Am C
The roads were filled with kids playing after dark
G F
Sent to get their fathers who were sitting at the bar
Am C G
Eat, sleep, work, drink, that's 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
[Interlude]
Am C F Am G
[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 C G
But I can't help thinking of the 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
[Solo]
Am C F Am G
Am C F Am G
[Bridge]
F
Oh, they're shutting down our town
Am
They're tearing out its heart
C G
It wasn't much to look at from the 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
[Interlude]

Woah, oh-oh

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

Oh, they're shutting down our town
