Down Around My Place

	  		
 

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  
            Am2 
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            Am2            
Bound to fail that he might show his grace 
               Em 
Down around my place 
D              Em  
Down around my place 

Solo: switch between Em and D 

               C/G           
They said you wouldn't believe 
       G 
What a paradise this was 
           D 
'Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry 
        Am                   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                      Am2 
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
