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


Chorus:
        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


Chorus:
         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?
