Chord/Tab song: They're Tearin' the Labor Camps Down

They're Tearin' The Labor Camps Down

I came [E]back to Cali[A]fornia cause my [E]home was here
To look up my old [B]sweetheart just for [E]fun
Mom and Dad had both [A]passed on in [E]two short years
While my patriotic [B]chores bein? [E]done

I saw changes all around me and some were good
But I hardly recognized my side of town
They tore down the swingin' casing from the cottowood
And that tree was all that marked familar ground.

Chorus:
[E]Oh, they're tearin' the [A]labor camps [E]down
And I [G#]feel a little sentimental s[C#m]hame
Where's a [A]working man gonna live at in this to[E]wn
Oh, they're tearin' the [B]labor camps [E]down.

The Hilltop family market had been moved somewhere
And the name was changed to fit the newer homes
The things that I remember were no longer there
And the cabin that my daddy built was gone.

Chorus
