Shuttin' Detroit Down  John Rich

ok the other version of this totally slaughtered the names of the chords so i'm
rewriting it with the correct chord names...
G=320033
D=000232
Cadd9=032033
C=032010
Em=022000
F=133211 (bar)
by the way, the F's in the chorus really arent neccisary but thats how Rich does it.
My d[G]addy taught me [Cadd9]in this country [G]everyones the sa[Cadd9]me
You [G]work hard for y[Cadd9]our dollar and y[G]ou never pass th[Cadd9]e blame
When[Cadd9] it dont go your way
Now [G]I see all these[Cadd9] big shots whining [G]on my evening [Cadd9]news
Abou[G]t how their los[Cadd9]ing billions and it[G]s up to me and[Cadd9] you
To c[Cadd9]ome running to [G]the [Cadd9]rescue[G] [Cadd9]
Well[D], pardon me if [Em]I dont shed a t[C]ear

Chorus:
Because in the [Em]real world their [C]shuttin Detroit [G]down
While the boss[Em] man takes his b[D]onus paid [Cadd9]jets on out of [D]town
DCs b[Em]ailing out them b[C]ankers as the [G]farmers [F]auction [C]ground
Yeah, [G]while there [F]living up on Wall St[C]reet in that New York City [G]town
Here in the r[G]eal world their [D]shuttin Detroit [Em]down[C]
Here in the r[G]eal world their [D]shuttin Detroit [G]down
Verse 2:
Well[G] that old mans [Cadd9]been working in [G]that plant most [Cadd9]all his life
Now [G]his pension pla[Cadd9]ns been cut in h[G]alf and he cant [Cadd9]afford to die
And its a crying shame, [Cadd9]cus he aint the one to Blame
When[G] I looked down [Cadd9]to see his callo[G]used hands[Cadd9]
Well[G] let me tell yo[Cadd9]u friend it gets[G] me fightin mad[Cadd9]
Chorus:
Because in the [Em]real world their [C]shuttin Detroit [G]down
