The Day The Saw Mill Closed Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Her house on the cor[F]ner of Ced[C]ar
and [F]Elm [C]still [G]stands in our [C]town
But it's been [F]empty since
[C]she moved [F]away
The [C]day that the [G]saw mill closed [C]down

[Verse 2]
We'd [C]sit on her [F]porch al[C]most every [F]night
I re[C]member how [G]happy we [C]were
We'd grow up and [F]marry,
I'd [C]work at the [F]mill to [C]make a [G]living for [C]her

[Verse 3]
[F]Her [G]father [C]worked at the [F]mill
Like [C]most of the [F]others in [C]town
[F]I lost my g[G]irl when h[C]e lost his j[F]ob
The [C]day that [G]the saw mill closed [C]down

[Verse 4]
She [C]moved from the [F]corner
of [C]Cedar and [F]Elm
And [C]I never s[G]aw her a[C]gain
But I can [F]still hear her [C]mother's soft [F]voice saying,
[C]"Honey, it's [G]time to come in"
[C]

[Verse 5]
No [F]longer [G]do mil[C]l hands live her[F]e
The [C]giant [F]saws don't make [C]a sound
No [F]longer [G]does my [C]love live her[F]e
[C]Not since [F]the saw mill closed [C]down
She left when the [G]saw mill closed down
[C]
