Shut Er Down by Doug Supernaw Guitar Chords

[Intro]
C       F       Dm       G      C

Verse One:
C                                          F
Parkview used to be just on the outside of town
         C                                               G
Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all around it
C                                                 F
And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls
           C                 G                               C
Except for one crazy old man standing there preaching in the halls

Verse Two:
C                                             F
His old friend died last week so they let him go
        C                                        G
And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder
         C                                              F
And some punks drove by and yelled as they stood at the casket
       C                          G                 C
And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket

[Chorus]
C                                                                       F
So he walked downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
F
of what used to be the drugstore
G                                          F
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
            C
He heads on down to the fishing hole and dreams about his hero
F                              Dm
Who took him there when he was three years old
G
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
         F                        G
Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares
Em                              Am
Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years
    F                             G                C
And just like his hometown, he's about to shut 'er down

Verse Three:
C                                                F
My views used to be just like those kids in that car
        C                                         G
Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard
        C                                              F
Now the old man's gone, but his thoughts are living in me
          C                   G                    C
About the way this damned old world is supposed to be

[Chorus]
C                                                                    F
So I walk downtown with his cane pole looking through the window
F
of what used to be the drugstore
G                                          F
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
          C
I head on down to the fishing hole and dream about my hero
F                            Dm
Who took me there when I was three years old
G
Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
         F                       G
Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares
Em                            Am
Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years
    F                               G               C
And just like his hometown, he just had to shut 'er down
    F                               G                C
And just like his hometown, he just finally shut 'er down
