Shut 'er Down
Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Mind
Doug Supernaw
Capo 2
Intro:
D G Em A D
Verse One:
D G
Parkview used to be just on the outside of town
D A
Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all around it
D G
And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls
D A D
Except for one crazy old man standing there preaching in the halls
Verse Two:
D G
His old friend died last week so they let him go
D A
And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder
D G
And some punks drove by and yelled as they stood at the casket
D A D
And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket
Chorus:
D G
So he walked downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
G
of what used to be the drugstore
A G
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
D
He heads on down to the fishing hole and dreams about his hero
G Em
Who took him there when he was three years old
A
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
G A
Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares
F#m Bm
Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years
G A D
And just like his hometown, he's about to shut 'er down
Verse Three:
D G
My views used to be just like those kids in that car
D A
Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard
D G
Now the old man's gone, but his thoughts are living in me
D A D
About the way this damned old world is supposed to be
Chorus:
D G
So I walk downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
G
of what used to be the drugstore
A G
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
D
I head on down to the fishing hole and dream about my hero
G Em
Who took me there when I was three years old
A
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
G A
Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares
F#m Bm
Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years
G A D
And just like his hometown, he just had to shut 'er down
G A D
And just like his hometown, he just finally shut 'er down
