[Intro] G C Down in the valley, the valley so low, G Bm C D Lay the town over and hear the winds blow, Bm C G D Lay the town over and dig it all in, F C G G For what we once had will not come again. G C The people are crying, the people are down, G Bm C D They look at the crevice where once lived a town, Bm C G D And it's not for the money, they cry not for the blame F C G G They just cry for a ghost town, such a great shame. G G G G C Take six politicians and dig me a grave G Bm C D Take six intellectuals, my soul try to save Bm C G D And six union workers, a red flag to wave F C G G And one stupid singer to rant and to rave... [Verse 1] C C C C G G C C C C G G G C Now Old King Coal was a merry old soul D Such a merry old soul was he, G D C G Cause he fed my dad, he fed my mum, D He fed us children three. C C D And I remember Old Coach Road, C D And the pine trees by its side G D C And I remember the playground there, D And every swing and slide. [Chorus] C C D It's goodbye to you my old grey friend C C D Soon your days are at an end G D C G They'll dig you up, tear you down, D G Goodbye to you - Industrial Town. [Verse 2] G D C In the morning when the sun came up D On commission housing, there, G D C G We could feel the ash from the mine sometimes D Come floating through the air. C C D But times were good and we didn't mind C D About the chimneys and their mess. G D C Oh no, three meals a day, a sleep at night, D We couldn't have cared less. [Chorus] C C D It's goodbye to you my old grey friend C C D Soon your days are at an end G D C G They'll dig you up, tear you down, D G Goodbye to you - Industrial Town. [Verse 3] G D C Time moved on, we moved away D How a young child soon forgets, G D C G Twelve years later I returned, D And I see with regret C C D Empty houses, empty streets, C C D Not a single soul to meet, G D C G Sold right out, damned on whim, D Sing this chorus, sing this hymn. [Chorus] C C D It's goodbye to you my old grey friend C C D Soon your days are at an end G D C G They'll dig you up, tear you down, D G Goodbye to you - Industrial Town. G G C C C C G G C C C C G G* Industrial Town, Industrial Town, Industrial Town.
