[Verse 1]
D G A D
I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men who sat around the old park square
D
But the piddlers and the whittlers and the checker boards're gone
E7 A7 D
There's a brand new office building there
G D E7 A7
And the street known as Maple is much wider now and there are no maples to be found
D G A D
Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown

[Verse 2]

There used to be good fishin' down along the shady mill stream
G A D
You'd see 'em as they jumped and played
But the blue gill and the croppie and the old mill made way
E7 A D
For Chemical Division Section A
G D
They pulled up the flowers planted by the Ladies' Club
E7 A7
And took the city founder statue down
D G A D
When Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown

[Verse 3]
D
Yeah the picture show has had it where I used to spend my Saturdays
G A D
With Jean and Roy and Pop along

Now the Brotherhood of Gismo Fixers Local 102 is making it their temporary home
G D E7 A7
They cut down the maples along Maple Street and of course the pool hall came down

When Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown
