intro: Eb

Eb                       F#       C#
Heard of a land held by a troubled hand 
Eb                  F#          C#
Where the whiskey runs the coal 
Eb                 F#          C#
Don't you dare go ask the newsman 
             B                              Eb
Cause he'll tell you everything He don't know 

Eb                         F#         C#
She was the daughter of the second american revolution 
Eb                F#   C#       Eb
A tall girl with a stones constitution 
                                F#      C#
And when she looked into their eyes to see
     B                                            Eb 
She know she ain't never going back to what she believe 
                    B  C#
To what you believe 

F#                             Bb
So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for    
                Eb                       C#
My work in the ground In this here londontown 
F#                             Bb
So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
                Eb            C# 
My work in the ground Got my back to the fire 
                  B                Bb         Eb 
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down 

They said they would never fight no more 
After the day she went away 
What in the world are we all fighting for 
If we don't give they're going to take 

So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground In this here londontown 
So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground 
        C#
Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground 
                  B                Bb
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down

It's just another 
It's just a 
Go and riddle me over 

Go and riddle me over 
I'm a man got nothing to show for 
My work in the ground 
Got my back to the fire 
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down 

(play verse chords over outro)
Say that again 
You say that again 
Oh what's left to hold in place
