[Intro] Em D Em D
    Em               D              Em
The radio is busted, down around my place

Em                    D              Em
Every tool is rusted, down around my place

Em                          D              Em
Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place 

   Em                          D              Em
My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place

      G                 D
And before there came a flood

          Am         Em
Some lost all, even blood

        G                 D
Now the sun and wind have come 

             Asus2
and left no trace

               Em
Down around my place

D              Em
Down around my place

      Em                             D              Em
These hunting grounds were hallowed, down around my place

Em                           D              Em
Exhausted fields lay fallow, down around my place

Em                         D              Em
Kingdoms come and crumble, down around my place

   Em                          D              Em
My prayers are merely mumbles, down around my place

      G               D
And I put my faith in you

        Am              Em
Did you make that error too?

G                  D                 Asus2
Bound to fail that he might show his grace

               Em
Down around my place

D              Em 
Down around my place

               C/G          
They said you wouldn't believe

       G
What a paradise this was

           D
'Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry

        Asus2                 Em
Started fighting for what he loved

       C/G
So, we fortified the ramparts

       G
And we built the mighty towers

           D
But it was plain to see, we never were free

         Am            Em
From the tyranny of the hour

    Em                          D              Em
The family graves keep winkin', down around my place

   Em                          D              Em
At every thought I'm thinkin', down around my place

          Em                          D              Em
While the young ones crowd the table, down around my place

Em                       D              Em
Bitchin' about no cable, down around my place

         G                   D
And my grandpa says, "Don't worry

                Am                     Em                  
It's always the last one in who's in a hurry

   G                 D                      Asus2
To try and slam the door in the next one's face"

               Em
Down around my place

D              Em
Down around my place

D              Em
Down around my place

D              Em
Down around my place

D              Em
Down around my place
