The Day The Saw Mill Closed Down Chords

(ver. 1)
Bobby Bare
[Verse 1]
C                  F         C         F   C     G             C
  Her house on the corner of Cedar and Elm still stands in our town
              F           C          F       C            G7              C
But it's been empty since she moved away the day that the saw mill closed down
                F       C          F         C          G7       C
We'd sit on her porch almost every night I remember how happy we were
                 F         C           F       C      G          C
We'd grow up and marry I'd work at the mill to make a living for her
 
 
[Bridge]
F   G      C             F         C           F         C
Her father worked at the mill like most of the others in town
F         G         C           F       C            G               C
I lost my girl when he lost his job the day that the saw mill closed down
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                  F         C         F       C       G        C
She moved from the corner of Cedar and Elm and I never saw her again
          F              C             F            C          G            C
But I can still hear her mother's soft voice saying honey it's time to come in
   F  G      C               F        C          F            C
No longer do mill hands live here the giant saws don't make a sound
   F  G        C            F    C             F               C
No longer does my love live here not since the saw mill closed down
                  G                  C
She left when the saw mill closed down
