Shutting Detroit Down chords by John Rich

Chords with lyrics

G+G
My daddy taught me that in this country everyone's the same 

You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame
C majorC
When it don't go your way
G+G
Now I see all these big shots cryin' on my evening news 

About how they're losin' billions and how it's up to me and you
C majorC 

To come running to the rescue
D MajorD                 C
   D MajorD
Well pardon me if I don't shed a tear 'cause they're selling make believe
C majorC
And we don't buy that here 



Chorus
       G+G         C majorC          G+G
Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down
G+G               D MajorD       C majorC      G+G

While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets out of town
G+G             D MajorD       C majorC        G+G
And DC's bailing out the bankers as the farmers auction ground
G+G                 D MajorD          C majorC      G+G
Yeah while they're living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town
 G+G           C majorC            E minorEm
Here in the real world there're shuttin' Detroit down. 

G+G            C majorC             G+G
Here in the real world they're shuttin' Detroit down." 



VERSE 2
G+G
Well that old man's been workin' in that plant most all of his life
Now his pension plan's been cut in half and he can't afford to die 

C majorC
And it's a crying shame 'cause he ain't the one to blame
D MajorD 

When I look down and see his caloused hands 

D MajorD                 C majorC
Let me tell you friend it gets me fightin' mad 



Chorus
