 I went to the mountain,but the mountain top was gone 
C#m            A                        E 
 Remember those dreams where as kids we dream

 Tore them down years ago and built a factory 

C#m               A                          E 
 When that plant closed the workers all left town 
B                                                             F#m 
 I read in the paper that some kids were killed when it burnt down 
C#m                 A                          E 
 Now I stare at that field like circle in the earth 
B                                              F#m 
 Nothing 'ill grow now that's not soil its just dirt 

      C#m              A

      F#m             E 
In making something new

  If all that made Us must be ruined 

        C#m          A

      F#m              E 
But mounting debt and fear 
B              C#m             A         B
