Shutting Detroit Down Chords by John Rich

Shutting Detroit Down chords by John Rich

Guitar chords with lyrics

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
When it don't go your way
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 

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



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

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

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

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

When I look down and see his caloused hands 

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



Chorus

Yeah while there' living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town 

 G                      C                      Em
Here in the real world there shuttin' Detroit down 

 G                      C                      Em
Here in the real world there shuttin' Detroit down 


 G                    C                    Em
In the real world they're shuttin Detroit down
