Вступление
Capo: 1
[Verse 1]
E A E
I was in the first grade I was pumpin' gasoline
B7
Dad did the wrenching' & mama kept the books clean
A E
I could rebuild a carburetor by the time I was 12 years old
E
I'll have you back on the road
B7
get you back in your machine
[Verse 2]
E A E
B is for Butch, Evelyn is mama's name
E B7
B & E Auto Service just a block off Main
A E
Coming up on 40 years, all-in-all not a bad career
E B7
But after we lost dad, things began to change
[Chorus]
A E
Each day there's a little less I recognize in my home town
E B7 E
It's hard watching the little guy goin' down
[Verse 3]
E A E
Oil and grime in the pores of my skin
E B7
Think of all the brake-dust I've been breathin' in
A E
I got a stack of new regulations, High-tech specifications
E B7
I can't keep up, too old to go to school again
[Verse 4]
E A E
Stop lights we-had one and now there's four
E B7
And you can't-see-the-shop from Main Street anymore
A
There's a new HEB 'cross town
E
Over here things are slowin' down
E B7
As I turn out the lights and lock up my front door
[Bridge]
C#m
Mom and Pop's like us
G#m
don't have a place in the world today
A
The little guy shops don't stand a chance
B
when the big boys start to play
[Solo]
C#m G#m A B E A E E B7 E
[Verse 5]
E A E
The old men in town meet for coffee every day
E B7
If things go smooth I'll take my place come May
A
Or I could set up the navigation
E
and head out and see the nation
E B7
Instead of watching my old friends fade away
[Chorus]
A E
Each day there's a little less I recognize in my hometown
E B7 E
And it's hard watching the little guys goin' down
[Outro]
A
Oh it's progress so they say
E
but that don't mean I'm hangin' 'round
B7 E
Cuz it's hard watchin' the little guys going down.
