Well, the army said
that you're far too young

Come back when the conflict's over,

and that's what Ralph will do
Did national service out in Greece

in the military police

Then he fell in love in 49

just after his release

Well, Ralph and Sally set up
Em
A
shop back in 58
G
F#m
With nothing more than love
Em
A
to make a square meal on the plate
D
But with three hungry kids to feed,
G
A
D
takes more than a little luck
Sellin' washing machines
and keepin' them clean
G
A
D
With their brand new Electrolux,
G
A
down at Richards Electric
D
There was no need to ride in your car

To 139 High Street
To fix phonograms or burn out fans
G

Hey, hope it's not obsolete
Sellin' fuse wire and Hoover bags

Cable, lex, and plugs
Everything that's electric,

he even tested your lightbulbs
G
Ralph had time on his hands,

a smile on his face

A welcome at the counter

Sports jackets with elbow patches

Sayin' way back then
when I was a boy,

watch Flash Gordon ride his rocket

A
D
With that penny in my pocket
F#m
I've been walking through my old hood,
Em
A
it sure feels strange in Hollywood
G
F#m
No more hardware story town,
Em
A
D
cause B &Q just shut him down
Folks would say for miles around,
G
A
D
he's the last of the living breed
Reminds me of my daddy's world,
G
A
D
when greed was not the creed
And now it's relocate or liquidate,
G
A
D
your investment just ain't sound
Ain't no place for you in town,
G
A
D
why your storefront's fallin' down
G
And I've seen steam trains
F#m
and sabre jets
Em
A
Smokin' through this town
G
F#m
Sights and sounds of yesteryear
Em
A
Hell, the young boys' hearts fell down
D
But now it's restaurants and real estate
G
A
And the Cosmotex galore
D
With coffee in the mornin',
G
made up moms in their high heels
A
D
G
A
D
Four by fours, but no more hardware store
F#m
And walkin' through my old hood,
Em
A
it sure feels strange in Hollywood
G
F#m
No more hardware store in town,
Em
A
D
F#m
cause P &Q just shut him down

Well, I went back there for one last look
G

But the window was totally bare
Except for faded paper and rusty pens
G
A

And a handwritten sign sittin' there
Mr. and Mrs. Richards
G
A
D
Would like to thank you all
For 55 years of loyalty
Em
A

God bless you, one and all
G
A
But our backs are against the wall
D

And we're closing down this fall

Down at Richard's Electric
