_ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] If I could go [Ebm] down now, _ in the [Abm] poor town [B] of sleeping,
_ see [Gb] the sun creeping up on the [Ab] hill, _ [Gb] yeah.
_ _ I know the river and the [Ebm] railroad _ would [Abm] run through the [Gb] _ valley still. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ [Gb] Guess it never was [Ebm] much to look at,
[Abm] just the one horse [B] town,
_ _ _ [Gb] the kind of [Ebm] place young people want to be [Ab] _ today.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Ebm] Stonebranch pretty much boarded up,
_ [Abm] Main Street [B] pretty much closed _ down.
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] Oh, the church bell [Dbm] still rings on a [Gbm] Sunday. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Old folks still go.
[E] _ _ _ Young [A] ones sit on [D] the [E] radio,
_ [A] _ Saturday [Dbm] night, nothing but [Abm] a stray dog running [G] wild,
like [Gb] _ _
nobody's _ child.
_ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Ebm] And little by little, and light after light, [Abm] that's how it [B] died.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ They [Ebm] say you'll never go home again, and [Ab] that's no [B] lie.
_ _ They stack [Ebm] a letter in the mail to a brother in jail,
[Ab] it's a matter of [B] time, you can do a little [Gb] bit at a [Abm] _
[Gb] time.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _

[Abm] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] sometime, _
[Db] _ _ _ [C] _ [Em] we used to be part of the heartland,
[Am] awful proud [C] and strong,
_ _ [G] but deep, [Em] deep down, peaceful and _ [A] _ serene.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] People [Em] used to talk about the country,
_ _ [Am] that's what they [C] used to [G] mean. _

_ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] I might go [Em] down, come the weekend,
_ _ [Am] go on [D] my own.

to [Am] a time that has [D] all but [C] gone. _

_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] We said [Bb] Mama, [Dm] come look at the [Gm] mountain, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] the fire in the [F] sky,
_ _ [Cm] it's lit [Bb] up like [Eb] the Fourth of [F] July,
[Bb] the mill burning [Dm] down,
_ _ _ [Am] the jobs leaving _ [Ab] town.
_ [G] The train's rolling by,
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] little by little, night after night,
[Am] that's how it _
[C] died.
_ _ _ [G] They [Em] say you'll never go home again,
[A] now that's no [C] lie.
_ _ [G] It's just a letter [Em] in the mail to a brother in jail,
[A] it's a matter of [C] time,
you can do a little [G] bit at a [Am] _
[G] time.
