John Hiatt - Down around my place

^EmThe radio is busted, d^Down around my ^Emplace ^EmEvery tool is rusted, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmCreeks and rivers dried up, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmMy woman's tears are cried up, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace

And ^Gbefore there came a ^Dflood Some lost ^Amall, even b^Emlood Now the ^Gsun and wind^D have come and left no ^Am2trace Down around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace

^EmThese hunting grounds were hallowed, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmExhausted fields lay fallow, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmKingdoms come and crumble, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmMy prayers are merely mumbles, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace

And I ^Gput my faith i^Dn you Did you ^Ammake that error ^Emtoo? Bound to ^Gfail that he mi^Dght show his ^Am2grace Down around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace

They said you w^C/Gouldn't believe What a ^Gparadise this was 'Til every ^DAdam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry Started ^Amfighting for what he ^Emloved

So, we fort^C/Gified the ramparts And we ^Gbuilt the mighty towers But it was^D plain to see, we never were free From the ^Amtyranny of the h^Emour

^EmThe family graves keep winkin', ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmAt every thought I'm thinkin', ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmWhile the young ones crowd the table, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace ^EmBitchin' about no cable, ^Ddown around my ^Emplace

^GAnd my grandpa says, “Don'^Dt worry It's always the ^Amlast one in who's in a ^Emhurry To ^Gtry and slam the ^Ddoor in the next one's ^Am2face” Down around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace ^DDown around my ^Emplace
