Every Town Will Celebrate chords by Mischief Brew

Chords with lyrics

Now that the entire world is going to hell, it seems like a good time for everyone to learn the classic
folk punk song "Every Town Will Celebrate" by Mischief Brew.


The strumming pattern on this song is the hardest part - it is:

Down, up down, up up up down
Down, up down, up up up down

The commas represent a pause where you deaden the strings from the previous strum.

For example, the intro would be:


DOWN (deaden strings) UP DOWN (deaden strings) UP UP UP DOWN
C majorC          C majorC C majorC           FF FF A minorAm A minorAm

DOWN (deaden strings) UP DOWN (deaden strings) UP UP UP DOWN
G+G          G+G G+G           FF FF C majorC  C majorC

Practice this pattern over and over and the song should come pretty naturally. Not the hardest song to learn,
but definitely not easy by any means.

I personally find that practicing the strumming pattern without using any chords (with the strings deadened)
helps the pattern come more quickly.

You only use this pattern for the intro and verses. For the pre choruses and chorus you can use
standard down down up up down up strumming (or any 4/4 pattern you want).

On the bridge there is some syncopated strumming during the bridge, just listen to the song and copy. This may
be another strumming pattern you need to spend some time practicing before you can execute it cleanly, but
don't give up and you will get it eventually!

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Well,big bad man come into town
N.C.
Giving sweets to the children, pushed their daddies around
N.C
Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight
N.C
No more fear in the hearts of whites
C majorC          FF   A minorAm
He built a hall, put on a show
G+G               FF    C majorC
From high above watched his boulders roll
C majorC                  FF    A minorAm
Then he bought main street and the old town hall
G+G                   FF
He named his price: his face on every wall (strum both chords once)
A minorAm    G+G   FF       A minorAm  G+G
WOOOOAAAAH his face on every wall!

C majorC            FF    A minorAm
Now the factories have all shut down
G+G           FF    C majorC
No more cloth stitched in this town
C majorC           FF   A minorAm
So they only job for boy and I
G+G           FF   C majorC
In the prison making tile shine
C majorC           FF    A minorAm
Someday that man will come here too
G+G           FF    C majorC
With that magic hat, spit and glue
C majorC           FF     A minorAm
He'll wash the stone, paint the brick
G+G                     FF
Rename the streets and make the clocks all tick
A minorAm    G+G             FF    A minorAm  G+G
OOooooon time, he'll make us run on time! (this line is the pre chorus)

[Chorus]
C majorC          FF   G+G   C majorC
And every town will celebrate someday
    FF          A minorAm    G+G
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
    DmDm        FF       G+G        A minorAm
Wearing culture on their backs, wearing spirit on their hats
C majorC          FF  G+G  C majorC      G+G
One by one they'll join the parade and celebrate!
C majorC           FF   G+G   C majorC
Yeah every town will celebrate someday

Now corners near and corners far

C majorC         FF  A minorAm
And community is felt again
G+G          FF   C majorC
Thanks to folks I've never met
   C majorC          FF      A minorAm
They slayed the artists, stole their arts
G+G         FF    C majorC
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
C majorC         FF     A minorAm
Raised the prices, raised the rent
G+G                    FF
Some days I wish that I could go back again
A minorAm  G+G          FF   A minorAm  G+G
