Company Town

	  		
verse 1 
Am               E 
Wake the union, sound the alarm 
          C                       D 
They're storming the gates of the old city farm 
       F7                   E7              Am   F7  E7 
And I won't go down to the company town no more 
Am                    E 
Wolves in the night, circling the flock 
  C                          D 
Shepherds are honing their knives on the block 
      F7                   E7              Am    F  G 
So I won't go down to the company town no more

          C                 D 
They're singing and dancing up on the hill 
    Em            D            C         D 
but here in the street we're paying the bills 
          Am                    Asus2/G# 
for the wheelers and dealers, fixers and spies 
 C/G                      D/F# 
peddling their wares and telling their lies 
       F7                   E7              Am    F7  E 
and I won't go down to the company town no more 

verse 2 
               Am 
You know, the smart money's leaving, 
       E 
it's heading out east 
             C                      D 
but they're sailing right into the heart of the beast 
       F7              E7              Am   F7  E7 
So I won't go down to company town no more 
Am                          E 
Call out the coast guard, send up the flare 
            C                   D 
there's an iceberg coming, but noone  cares 
       F7                   E7              Am    F  G 
and I won't go down to the company town no more

      C                          D 
But here below deck, looks like nothing has changed 
         Em               D              C         D 
but the books have been cooked and the chairs rearranged 
    Am                   Asus2/G# 
So I'm in the life boat, over the side 
 C/G                 D/F# 
Pulling away on the sweet morning tide 
       F7               E7              Am    F7  E 
and I won't go down to company town no more 

verse 3 
    Am                 E 
So wake up the union, ring on the bell 
         C                     D 
Now the party's over and it's hurting like hell 
        F7                           E 
Here's one lost soul that won't be found 
          C                D 
'til the trumpet peals of judgment sounds 
        F7                  E               Am 
and I won't go down to the company town no more
