Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Heard  of a land held by a  troubled  hand
Where  the whiskey runs  the coal
Don't  you dare go ask  the newsman
 Cause he'll tell  you everything He don't know
She  was the daughter of the  second american  revolution
A  tall girl with a  stones  constitution
 And when she looked into their eyes  to see
 She know  she ain't never going back to what she believe
 To what you believe
So  go and riddle me over I'm a man  got nothing to show for
 My work in the ground  In this here londontown
So  go and riddle me over I'm a man  got nothing to show for
 My work in the ground  Got my back  to the fire
 But it ain't the bridges  that are falling  down
 They said they would never fight no more
 After the day she went away
 What in the world are we all fighting for
 If we don't give they're going to take
 So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
 My work in the ground In this here londontown
 So go and riddle me over I'm a man got nothing to show for
 My work in the ground
 Got my back  to the fire and my feet on the ground
 But it ain't the bridges  that are falling  down
 (play verse chords over bridge)
 It's just another
 It's just a
 Go and riddle me over
 Go and riddle me over
 I'm a man got nothing to show for
 My work in the ground
 Got my back to the fire
 But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
 (play verse chords over outro)
 Say that again
 You say that again
 Oh what's left to hold in place
