Intro :    Eb   Cm   Bb   Ab   G/B  Cm   F9   Ab

Eb            Cm
All the years I worked in this place
Bb                       Ab
The friends that I knew here I loved every face
G/B               Cm7
I loved the smoke the heat and the noise
      Fm7                  Ab
But the profits too small for the black suited boys

Eb   Cm7     Bb               Ab
Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
     G/B              Cm7               Fm7         Ab
It's breaking up home by home         Take it away, take it away, take it

Eb              Cm
In this place I will lay my life down
Eb              Ab
In this place I will let you carry me
G/B          Cm
As I age so my learning grows
  Fm7                    Ab                      Eb    Cm  Eb  Ab
I still touch the vision   I still smell the rose in this place

All the years I lived in this place
The people we knew here, I loved every face
I love the parties, the funerals and fights
But a supermarket needs the land and I have no rights

Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home   
Take it away, take it away, take it

In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision I still smell the rose in this place

All the years I spent in this place
The children we raised here, I love every face
I love this country the land of my birth
But how much am I wanted how much am I worth

Oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone
It's breaking up home by home   
Take it away, take it away, take it

In this place I will lay my life down
In this place I will let you carry me
As I age so my learning grows
I still touch the vision   I still smell the rose in this place    repeat x2)
