[Verse 1]
Dm Gm A# C
Hard times, wages, gone with the ages
Dm Gm
See factory walls are crumbling
A# C
Now all the coins missing from the fountain
Dm Gm A# C
Old brick, old pine, hewed from trees from another time
Dm Gm
Used to hang out at the depot when they came in
A# C
Freight trains full of lumber from the mountain
[Chorus]
F Am Dm A#
Now we’re living in a ghost town
F Am Dm A#
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see
F Am Dm A#
Now we’re living in a ghost town
F Am Dm A#
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see
[Interlude]
see, see

[Verse 2]
Dm Gm A# C
My dad, since 18, steel plant, near main street
Dm Gm
Savin’ money so he can ask the young waitress
A# C
The one with the red hair who's always anxious
Dm Gm A# C
Clocked in, 4 kids, piled up on the horse hair mattress
Dm Gm
30 years at the forgery working
A# C
Got a notice that the factory was closing
[Chorus]
F Am Dm A#
And now we’re living in a ghost town
F Am Dm A#
And now we’re living in a ghost town, see
F Am Dm A# F
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
Am Dm A#
Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see
F C Gm A#
See, see, see, see, see, see, see, see
F C Gm
See, see, see, see, see

[Bridge]
F C
But I'm still here, most of us are
A# Dm C
There's no happiness here, except for the kind you can score

Now folks my age dropping like flies
C
Can’t stop once they get a hit of the good life
