verse 1 
 
                  E7      Am     F 
It was a Saturday morning bus to town  
    C        G          C   G 
For grandma, mother and me  
       C           E7         Am      F        C 
With a list of the shops we'd need to call at  
                     G 
Before the cakes and tea  
              F            G          C   G/B  Am   F 
There was the butcher, the baker, the bookshop too  
        C          Dm    G 
So many things for us to do  
         C         E7           Am        F         C 
Now with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children  
                G        C  E7  Am  F  C  G  C 
Who'll save the old town now?  


verse 2 
 
           E7           Am        F 
The cinema stood on the railway's corner  
C        G             C      G 
Courting couples would queue  
C          E7      Am   F       C 
Now it's a big fat supermarket  
                      G 
You have to drive out to  
                F            G        C         G/B Am       F 
They've got the meat and the veg, the fruit and the flowers  
                   C      Dm               G 
They've killed the little shops with their hours  
         C         E7           Am        F         C 
And with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children  
                G        C  
Who'll save the old town now?  

 
F                         C                      Dm 
Who'll save the old town? Now it's a ghost town  
                       G    N.C. 
Once it was my town, a warm as toast town  
         C       E7        Am      F        C 
But with charity shops and boarded windows  
            G        C  E7  Am  F  C  G  C 
It's not my old town now 
 

 
verse 3 
 
          E7      Am       F 
Jimmy and Joe met John the poacher  
    C           G          C     G 
For beer at the old King's Head  
         C           E7           Am      F 
Now it's been closed down and the new off-licence  
       C               G 
Has Australian lager instead  
       F            G        C      G/B Am 
So the charm of the old town starts to  pall  
   F        C           Dm            G 
As everyone goes to the shopping mall  
         C         E7           Am        F         C 
And with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children  
                G        C 
Who'll save the old town now? 

 
F                         C                      Dm 
Who'll save the old town? Now it's a ghost town  
                       G    N.C. 
Once it was my town, a warm as toast town  
         C       E7        Am      F        C 
But with charity shops and boarded windows  
            G        C  E7  Am  F  C  G  C 
It's not my old town now 
 
 
verse 4 
 
                  E7      Am     F

    C        G          C   G 
For grandma, mother and me  
       C           E7         Am      F        C

                     G 
Before the cakes and tea  
              F            G          C   G/B  Am   F 
There was the butcher, the baker, the bookshop too  
        C          Dm    G 
So many things for us to do  
         C         E7           Am        F         C 
Now with Oxfam and Heartbeat and Save The Children  
                G        C  E7  Am  F  C  G  C 
Who'll save the old town now 
     C         E7           Am        F         C

                G        C 
Who'll save the old town now
