* = one strum
(VERSE)
D                        G                         D G
The lakes and pines they bleed of beauty and grace

        D               G                         D G 
And the rivers they run wild like an endless race 

D                   G                         D G
The forests soar so high then fall to the sea 

   D                     G               D G
As church bells ring and sing in harmony 

  Em                     G                D    D     
I heard them say they're shuttin' Detroit down 

    Em                 G              A    A
But I won't leave 'cuz this is my hometown 
(CHORUS)
          G          A                D     D
And it's times like these we can't replace 

     G          A               D     D
It's times like these we must embrace 

    G                A               D         A      G     G
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees 

   Em              G*
It makes us who we are, in times like these 
D - G - D - G (VERSE)
       D                       G                    D G
The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind 

           D               G                   D G  
With the memories of what was and what has been 

      D                    G                        D G  
The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues 

           D                 G                         D G
There were 17 colors for a Chevy all red white and blue 

    Em            G                           D D
I heard them say that you can't save that town 

       Em             G                  A A
But I won't leave, I will stand my ground 
(CHORUS)
 G          A                D     D
And it's times like these we can't replace 

     G          A               D     D
It's times like these we must embrace 

    G                A               D         A      G     G
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees 

   Em              G*
It makes us who we are, in times like these 
(Solo...) D - G - D - G x2 (VERSE)
     D                 G                       D G
The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom 

        D                   G                         D G
In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon 

           D                       G              D G
A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above 

             D                      G                      D G
'Cuz in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love 

    Em            G                   D D
And I was here watchin' it all go down 

    Em              G                       A A 
And I'll still be, when it comes back around 
(CHORUS)
         G          A                D     D
And it's times like these we can't replace 

     G          A               D     D
It's times like these we must embrace 

    G                A               D         A      G     G
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees 

   Em              G*                      D G
It makes us who we are, in times like these

   Em*             G*
It makes us who we are, in times like these
