Shut 'er Down
Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Mind
Doug Supernaw

Capo 2

Intro:
D       G       Em       A      D

Verse One:
D                                          G
Parkview used to be just on the outside of town
         D                                               A
Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all around it
D                                                 G
And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls
           D                 A                               D
Except for one crazy old man standing there preaching in the halls

Verse Two:
D                                             G
His old friend died last week so they let him go
        D                                        A
And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder
         D                                              G
And some punks drove by and yelled as they stood at the casket
       D                          A                 D
And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket

Chorus:
D                                                                       G
So he walked downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
G
of what used to be the drugstore
A                                          G
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
            D
He heads on down to the fishing hole and dreams about his hero
G                              Em
Who took him there when he was three years old
A
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
         G                        A
Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares
F#m                              Bm
Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years
    G                             A                D
And just like his hometown, he's about to shut 'er down

Verse Three:
D                                                G
My views used to be just like those kids in that car
        D                                         A
Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard
        D                                              G
Now the old man's gone, but his thoughts are living in me
          D                   A                    D
About the way this damned old world is supposed to be

Chorus:
D                                                                    G
So I walk downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
G
of what used to be the drugstore
A                                          G
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
          D
I head on down to the fishing hole and dream about my hero
G                            Em
Who took me there when I was three years old
A
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
         G                       A
Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares
F#m                            Bm
Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years
    G                               A               D
And just like his hometown, he just had to shut 'er down
    G                               A                D
And just like his hometown, he just finally shut 'er down
