Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
A minorAm        E MajorE
Wake the union, sound the alarm
     C majorC            D MajorD
They're storming the gates of the old city farm
    F7F7          E7E7       A minorAm  F7F7 E7E7
And I won't go down to the company town no more
A minorAm          E MajorE
Wolves in the night, circling the flock
 C majorC             D MajorD
Shepherds are honing their knives on the block
   F7F7          E7E7       A minorAm  FF G+G
So I won't go down to the company town no more

stick 1:
     C majorC         D MajorD
They're singing and dancing up on the hill
  E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC     D MajorD
but here in the street we're paying the bills
     A minorAm          Asus2/G#
for the wheelers and dealers, fixers and spies
 C/GC/G           D/F#D/F#
peddling their wares and telling their lies
    F7F7          E7E7       A minorAm  F7F7 E MajorE
and I won't go down to the company town no more

Verse 2:
        A minorAm
You know, the smart money's leaving,
    E MajorE
it's heading out east
       C majorC           D MajorD
but they're sailing right into the heart of the beast
    F7F7       E7E7       A minorAm  F7F7 E7E7
So I won't go down to company town no more
A minorAm             E MajorE
Call out the coast guard, send up the flare
      C majorC          D MajorD
there's an iceberg coming, but noone cares
    F7F7          E7E7       A minorAm  FF G+G
and I won't go down to the company town no more

Stick 2:
   C majorC             D MajorD
But here below deck, looks like nothing has changed
     E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC     D MajorD
but the books have been cooked and the chairs rearranged
  A minorAm          Asus2/G#
So I'm in the life boat, over the side
 C/GC/G         D/F#D/F#
Pulling away on the sweet morning tide
    F7F7        E7E7       A minorAm  F7F7 E MajorE
and I won't go down to company town no more

Verse 3:
  A minorAm         E MajorE
So wake up the union, ring on the bell
     C majorC           D MajorD
Now the party's over and it's hurting like hell
    F7F7              E MajorE
Here's one lost soul that won't be found
     C majorC        D MajorD
'til the trumpet peals of judgment sounds
    F7F7         E MajorE        A minorAm
