INTRO: C  D  G  Em   (2x)

     C                 D
If I come down from my high horse
        G                   Em
And you come down from your hill
     C                D
I'll ride up from the valley
     G                Em
From our place by the mill


    C                    D
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
          G              Em
Since the good jobs have gone
         Am    D
With the odds against us
          C           D
Stacked a thousand-to-one


  C                D
Ohh, everything is changing
    G              Em
The new jobs don't pay
    C             D
Our old street is crumbling
          G        Em
Young ones moving away


    C                D
So, that's why I called you
  G              Em
I know you could help
   C          D
If you were inclined to 
         G             Em     Am  D
You could swing it yourself


   C             D
Please do it for Gracie
G              Em
Not for my sake
     C             D
Back then when she chose me
     G              Em
Maybe she made a mistake


    C            D        G
Now memories are pictures
              Em
Scissors, for thoughts
    C               D
The wars that we're fighting are
    G            Em      Am  D
The wars that we fought


        C               D        
I can't change all that happened
       G                Em 
Or the words that I said
       C        D        
Taking on every demon
     G            Em 
I was full speed ahead


    C                      D        
You should know this isn't like me
       G       Em 
Or the man I became
       C                 D        
Didn't work for my health
            G           Em     Am  D
I'd say it's caught up again


G      C           D        
Oh, we did have an estate
G               Em 
Treatments took that
      C           D        
And I did have my pride
              G              Em 
But that came off with my cap


   C                 D        
If I don't hear from you
         G          Em      C
Know that I'll understand
                  D        
I have until the [priest statement]
     C                   D        
"She knows you're a good man"


    C                    D        
The neighbourhood's gone quiet
          G              Em 
Since the good jobs went south
      C                 D        
Went straight through to China
        G           Em      Am
Now it's fingers to mouth
    D      Am
Fingers
    D        G
Fingers
