[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Em][D][G][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
The [Em]radio is busted,
[D]down [G]around my [Em]place
Every tool is rusted,
[D]down around my [Em]place
Creeks and rivers dried up,
[D]down [G]around [Em]my place
My woman's tears are cried up,
[D]down around my [Em]place

[Verse 2]
And be[G]fore there came a [D]flood
Some lost [Am]all, even [Em]blood
[G]Now the sun and wind have [D]come
and left no [G]trace[Asus4]
Down around my [Em]place[D]
Down around [Em]my place
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
These hunting grounds were hallowed,
[D]down around my [Em]place
Exhausted fields lay fallow,
[D]down around my [Em]place
Kingdoms come and crumble,
[D]down [G]around [D]my pla[Em]ce
My prayers are merely mumbles,
[D]down [G]around [D]my pla[Em]ce

[Verse 4]
[G]And I put my faith in [D]you
Did you [Am]make that error [Em]too?
[G]Bound to fail that [D]he might
show his [Em]grace
Down [A]around [Em]my place
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Down [G]around my [Em]place[G][Em][G]
Down [D]around my place

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 6]
[D][Em][D][Em][D]
[Dsus4][D][Em][D]
[Em]said[D] you wouldn'[C]t believe
What [G]a paradise this was
'Til every [D]Adam and Eve,
Tom, Dick and Harry
Started [A]fighting for what [Em]he loved

[Verse 7]
So, we [C]fortified the ramparts
And we [G]built the mighty towers
But it was [D]plain to see,
we never were free
From the [A]tyranny of [Em]the hour

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 8]
[Em]The family graves keep winkin',
[D]down [G]around [D]my pla[Em]ce
At every thought I'm thinkin',
[D]down around my [Em]place
While the young ones crowd the table,
[D]down around my pla[Em]ce
Bitchin' about no cable,
[D]down around my [Em]place

[Verse 9]
And my [G]grandpa says, “Don't[D]worry
It's always the [Am]last one
in who's in a [Em]hurry
[G]To try and slam the [D]door in the
next [A]one's [G]fac[A]e”
Down [Em]around my [D]place
Down around my [Em]place
[D]Down around my [Em]place
[D]Down around my [Em]place
[D]Down [Em]around my place
