INTRO: C D G Em (2x)
     C                 D
If I come down from my high horse

        G                   Em
And you come down from your hill

     C                D
I'll ride up from the valley

     G                Em
From our place by the mill

    C                    D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet

          G              Em
Since the good jobs have gone

         Am    D
With the odds against us

          C           D
Stacked a thousand-to-one

  C                D
Ohh, everything is changing

    G              Em
The new jobs don't pay

    C             D
Our old street is crumbling

          G        Em
Young ones moving away

    C                D
So, that's why I called you

  G              Em
I know you could help

   C          D
If you were inclined to 

         G             Em     Am  D
You could swing it yourself

   C             D
Please do it for Gracie

G              Em
Not for my sake

     C             D
Back then when she chose me

     G              Em
Maybe she made a mistake

    C            D        G
Now memories are pictures

              Em
Scissors, for thoughts

    C               D
The wars that we're fighting are

    G            Em      Am  D
The wars that we fought

        C               D        
I can't change all that happened

       G                Em 
Or the words that I said

       C        D        
Taking on every demon

     G            Em 
I was full speed ahead

    C                      D        
You should know this isn't like me

       G       Em 
Or the man I became

       C                 D        
Didn't work for my health

            G           Em     Am  D
I'd say it's caught up again

G      C           D        
Oh, we did have an estate

G               Em 
Treatments took that

      C           D        
And I did have my pride

              G              Em 
But that came off with my cap

   C                 D        
If I don't hear from you

         G          Em      C
Know that I'll understand

                  D        
I have until the [priest statement]

     C                   D        
"She knows you're a good man"

    C                    D        
The neighbourhood's gone quiet

          G              Em 
Since the good jobs went south

      C                 D        
Went straight through to China

        G           Em      Am
Now it's fingers to mouth

    D      Am
Fingers

    D        G
Fingers
