Eb Cm All the years I worked in this place Bb Ab The friends that I knew here I loved every face G/B Cm7 I loved the smoke the heat and the noise Fm7 Ab But the profits too small for the black suited boysPre-Chorus
Eb Cm7 Bb Ab Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone G/B Cm7 Fm7 Ab It's breaking up home by home Take it away, take it away, take itEb Cm In this place I will lay my life down Eb Ab In this place I will let you carry me G/B Cm As I age so my learning grows Fm7 Ab Eb I still touch the vision I still smell the rose in this placeVerse 2:
Eb Cm All the years I lived in this place Bb Ab The people we knew here, I loved every face G/B Cm7 I love the parties, the funerals and fights Fm7 Ab But a supermarket needs the land and I have no rightsPre-Chorus
