They’re (Am) closing down the (D) door 
And this mill won’t run no (G) more. (Em)


There’s silence in the valley, there’s silence in the streeets

Were my wife stares out the window with a long and lonely stare
She says “you kill yourself for 30 years but no one seems to care”

There is(C) cottonwood and (Bm) suemacway (Am) inside the slab mill(D) door
And this mill won’t run no (G) more.  (Em)
