[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C G
Now, the railroad came generations ago
D7 G
And the town grew up, as the crops did grow
C G
And the crops grew well, and the town did, too
D7 G
They say it's dying now and there ain't a thing we can do
[Chorus 1]
C G
I don't have to read the news or hear it on the radio
D7 G
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
C G
The cost goes up, what we made comes down
D7 G
What's gonna happen to our little town?
[Interlude]
C G D7 G C G
[Verse 2]
C G
The summer's full of thunder, the kids run and play
D7 G
Mama got a new wrinkle, Papa ain't got much to say
C G
Rust grows along the railroad track
D7 G
The young folks leave, they don't come back
[Chorus 2]
C G
And I don't have to read the news or hear it on the radio
D7 G
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
C G
The boards go up, the signs come down
D7 G
And what's gonna happen to our little town?
[Interlude]
C G D7 G C G
[Verse 3]
C G
Tom lost his farm, and we lost Tom
D7 G
He left in the night, I don't know where he's gone
C G
What he'd lost, he just couldn't face
D7 G
What we're losing, it can't be replaced
[Chorus 3]
C G
And I don't have to read the news or hear it on the radio
D7 G
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
C G
The reason we're here, is the farms around
D7 G
So what's gonna happen to our little town?
[Interlude]
C G D7 G C G
[Verse 4]
C G
We've seen hard times many times before
D7 G
Maybe this whole thing is just one more
C G
It never was perfect, maybe no one's to blame
D7 G
To see it die like this, it's a goddamn shame
[Chorus 4]
C G
And I don't have to read the news or hear it on the radio
D7 G
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
C G
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
D7 G
But what's gonna happen to our little town?
[Outro]
