D#Heard of a land held by aF# troubledC# hand
D#Where the whiskey ruF#ns the coal C#
D#Don't you dare go aF#sk the newsmC#an
Cause he'll tBell you everything He don't knoD#w

D#A tall girl with aF# stonC#es constiD#tution
And when she looked into their eF#yes to sC#ee
She kBnow she ain't never going back to what she beD#lieve
To what you believe B C#
F#So go and riddle me over I'm a Bbman got nothing to show for
My work in the gD#round In this here londonC#town
F#So go and riddle me over I'm a Bbman got nothing to show for
My work in the gD#round Got my bC#ack to the fire
But it ain't the bBridges that are fBballing downD#
They said they would never fight no more
After the day she went away
What in the world are we all fighting for
If we don't give they're going to take
So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground In this here londontown
So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my bC#ack to the fire and my feet on the ground
But it ain't the bBridges that are fBballing down
(play verse chords over bridge)
It's just another
It's just a
Go and riddle me over
Go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my back to the fire
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
(play verse chords over outro)
Say that again
You say that again
Oh what's left to hold in place
