Down Around My Place

guitar chords lyrics

John Hiatt

Capo 2

Intro: Em D Em D

Em D Em
The radio is busted, down around my place
Em D Em
Every tool is rusted, down around my place
Em D Em
Creeks and rivers dried up, down around my place

Em D Em
My woman's tears are cried up, down around my place

G D
And before there came a flood
Am Em
Some lost all, even blood
G D
Now the sun and wind have come
Am2
and left no trace
Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place

Em D Em
These hunting grounds were hallowed, down around my place
Em D Em
Exhausted fields lay fallow, down around my place
Em D Em
Kingdoms come and crumble, down around my place
Em D Em
My prayers are merely mumbles, down around my place

G D
And I put my faith in you
Am Em
Did you make that error too?
G D Am2
Bound to fail that he might show his grace
Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place

Solo: switch between Em and D

C/G
They said you wouldn't believe
G
What a paradise this was
D
'Til every Adam and Eve, Tom, Dick and Harry
Am Em
Started fighting for what he loved

C/G
So, we fortified the ramparts
G
And we built the mighty towers
D
But it was plain to see, we never were free
Am Em
From the tyranny of the hour

Em D Em
The family graves keep winkin', down around my place
Em D Em
At every thought I'm thinkin', down around my place
Em D Em
While the young ones crowd the table, down around my place
Em D Em
Bitchin' about no cable, down around my place

G D
And my grandpa says, �Don't worry
Am Em
It's always the last one in who's in a hurry
G D Am2
To try and slam the door in the next one's face�
Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place
D Em
Down around my place
