[Verse 1]
AmThis used to be a place
         CWhere a man could find some work
G                         FPut together Holdens or a foundry job at worst
      AmI can hear the noises coming
         C                      GFrom the Karawara deep into the night
    Am                          CThe roads were filled with kids playing after dark
G                                  FSent to get their fathers who were sitting at the bar
Am                       C                    GEat, sleep, work, drink, that's all they ever did


[Chorus]
        AmThey're shutting down our town
        CThey're cutting down our town
F                            GNo more production line blue collar can be found
        AmThey'll tear it to the ground
        C                 GThey're shutting down our town
                              AmOh, they're shutting down our town

[Verse 2]
  Am                   CI started raising hell before I came of age
G                         FRunning from my past with clenched fists of rage
      Am                     CAnd I fought my way through, every other day
              GNever looking back
         Am                    CWoah and everything I knew was back there on those streets
G                    FEvery lesson learned kept me on my feet
      Am                         C               GBut I can't help thinking of the ones I left behind


[Chorus]
        AmThey're shutting down our town
        CThey're cutting down our town
F                            GNo more production line blue collar can be found
        AmThey'll tear it to the ground
        C                 GThey're shutting down our town
                              AmOh, they're shutting down our town

                        AmThey're tearing out its heart
                  C                     GIt wasn't much to look at from the very start
           FHerded all together
                    AmFrom many different lands
                    F     GThe old folks stand around
                                AmWhile they're shutting down our town

      AmAnd I finally came back home
CFound some peace at last
    G                             FWas time to stop running from the demons of my past
AmSome that I remember
        G                         FBut the rest are changing way too fast
