Strum

 x2
 There's a factory  standing empty
 Where we built  your Chevrolet
 And we sent  our kids to college  on a 40  hour wage
 But now the windows  all are broken
 There's graffiti  on the walls
 And the kids  came home from college
 Took a job  down at the mall
 And the winter  is getting longer
 And this town  is frozen numb
 And I can't  remember summer
 It feels like spring  may never come
 There's a half-full whiskey bottle
 On the table by my bed
 There's a hollow in the pillow
 Where she used to lay her head
 And all the dreams
 And all the memories
 Faded pictures and crooked frames
 Hang in silence down the hallway
 In the chill of what remains
 Now the winter is getting colder
 And my heart is frozen numb
 And I can't remember summer
 It feels like spring may never come
 Shades of hopeless on the faces
 Of the souls who stand in line
 And holy Jesus hangs on crosses
 And I hear Mother Mary crying
 Hallelujah, hallelujah!
 Soon it all will disappear
 Buried under the snows of winter
 Just like we all were never here

[Am] [C] [G] [Fmaj7] x2

There's a [Am]factory standing [C]empty
Where we [G]built your Chevro[Fmaj7]let
And we [Am]sent our kids to [C]college on a [G]40 hour [Fmaj7]wage
But now the [Am]windows all are [C]broken
There's [G]graffiti on the [Fmaj7]walls
And the [Am]kids came home from [C]college
Took a [G]job down at the [Fmaj7]mall

And the [G]winter is getting [Am]longer
And this [C]town is frozen [G]numb
And I [Dm]can't remember [Am]summer
It feels like [G]spring may never [Fmaj7]come

There's a half-full whiskey bottle
On the table by my bed
There's a hollow in the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
And all the dreams
And all the memories
Faded pictures and crooked frames
Hang in silence down the hallway
In the chill of what remains

Now the winter is getting colder
And my heart is frozen numb
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come

Shades of hopeless on the faces
Of the souls who stand in line
And holy Jesus hangs on crosses
And I hear Mother Mary crying

Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Soon it all will disappear
Buried under the snows of winter
Just like we all were never here
