[Verse 1]

Em          Am     C                D
Hard times, wages,    gone with the ages
Em                    Am
See factory walls are crumbling
C                 D
Now all the coins missing from the fountain
Em         Am        C          D
Old brick, old pine, hewed from trees from another time
Em                      Am
Used to hang out at the depot when they came in
C                      D
Freight trains full of lumber from the mountain


[Chorus]

G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town
G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see
G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town
G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see


[Interlude]
 see, see

[Verse 2]

Em      Am        C            D
My dad, since 18, steel plant, near main street
Em                     Am
Savin’ money so he can ask the young waitress
    C                D
The one with the red hair who's always anxious
Em          Am      C               D
Clocked in, 4 kids, piled up on the horse hair mattress
Em             Am
30 years at the forgery working
C                     D
Got a notice that the factory was closing



[Chorus]

G                Bm                Em     C
   And now we’re living in a ghost town
G                Bm                Em     C
   And now we’re living in a ghost town, see
G            Bm                Em            C                  G
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
             Bm                Em         C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see
G         D         Am        C
See, see, see, see, see, see, see, see
G         D         Am
See, see, see, see, see

[Bridge]
              G                D
But I'm still here, most of us are
           C                              Em           D
There's no happiness here, except for the kind you can score
    Am                         C
Now folks my age dropping like flies
                                      D
Can’t stop once they get a hit of the good life


[Chorus]
G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town
G            Bm                Em         C           G
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
             Bm                Em            C                   G
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
             Bm                Em         C           G
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see, see
             Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town
G            Bm                Em     C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see
G            Bm                Em         C           G

             Bm                Em            C                   G
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see the money all but left now
             Bm                Em         C
   Now we’re living in a ghost town, see, see, see
G         D         Am        C
See, see, see, see, see, see, see, see
G         D         Am        C
See, see, see, see, see, see, see, see
G         D         Am
See, see, see, see, see
