verse 1: 
        A        E        A 
This is fine old place to live 
         D    Dmaj7     D 
A little take, a little give 
          E                  E7           A       E 
The river flows, our life it goes on like before 


verse 2: 
           A    E                A 
A few more shops they’re closing down 
             D            Dmaj7    D 
They say the High Street’s leaving town 
           E                E7              A 
The Celtic Tiger’s lost his swagger and his roar 


Refrain: 
E      B7             E     B7 
I know progress never stops 
E      B7                  E    E7 
And we can’t wind back the clock 



        A             A7             D 
But I remember my old town, and it’s getting me down 
          A                         E 
All their changes bring nothing but sorrow 
         A           A7            D           
This new world I can face, but why must they replace 
Dm     A               E           D     A 
My old town with their brand new tomorrow?

verse 3: 
            A          E           A 
And now the Pound Shops are on the rise 
              D       Dmaj7      D 
While Pay Day Lenders, they multiply 
              E            E7           A     E 
And there’s a KFC where it used to be a bank 


verse 4: 
           A       E       A 
And at the station, in the rain 
              D      Dmaj7  D 
The youth are queuing for a train 
      E                E7               A 
We’re leaving home and wondering who to thank 


 

         A             A7             D 
Yes, I remember my old town, and it’s getting me down 
          A                         E 
All their changes bring nothing but sorrow 
         A           A7            D           
This new world I can face, but why must they replace 
Dm     A               E           D     E 
My old town with their brand new tomorrow? 

         A           A7            D 
This new world I can face, but why must they replace 
Dm     A               E           D      A 
My old town with their brand new tomorrow?
