but there's a good time to be had

B7                     A7              E7
I'd like to think everybody here knows that

         E7
So let's talk about a place that you might not know

E7
Just a little further on up the road

        E7
Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be

E7
Whole lotta trouble come to our streets

    A7                     E7
The only one to blame is GMC

       B7                       A7             E7
If you don't know, baby, let me tell you how I mean

         E7
We built Buick cars, GM trucks

E7
Chevy engines, AC sparkplugs

      A7                               E7
Built planes for the war back in forty-one

B7          A7                          E7  B7
Every piece straight from the ground on up

     E7
Then trouble come in eighty-six

          E7
With this son of a bitch named Roger Smith

A7                                         E7
Cut our throat with a stroke of a fountain pen

B7                           A7            E7   B7
We're knocked down but we're gonna get up again

            A7
Well, there ain't no work and everybody's hurtin'

     E7
It's been that way for a while

     A7
They ain't got a sleepgrass yet there

B7
Flint City knows how to have a good time

         E7
Well, we might be poor and we might be rough

E7
We're just good people down on our luck

        A7                               E7
And you know it seems nobody cares about us
