John Statz - Ghost Towns



INTRO: E minorEm C majorC G+G  A minorAm C majorC D MajorD  (2x)

            A minorAm
Cleveland, Janesville, Camden
         C majorC
Or East St. Louis, where they used to make
  G+G                  D MajorD
The things that we would all use every day


             A minorAm
Now we've shipped it to Korea
      C majorC
China, Indonesia, left like ghost towns
  G+G                 D MajorD    A minorAm  C majorC  G+G   D MajorD
The old west, laid to rest and left decayed

               A minorAm
They say, "Lets get with the program,
             C majorC
There's nothing like the globalisation"
    G+G                   D MajorD
Of our pay-checks, bank accounts and place to stay


              A minorAm
Lets give free trade to the masses
        C majorC
Americans have assets
        G+G                D MajorD    E minorEm
Like satellite TV's, big cars, iPods and fancy dress


CHORUS:
     C majorC        G+G    A minorAm
Left you drowning in the street
     C majorC        D MajorD    E minorEm
Bills, a rope around your neck
     C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
And this big old flatscreen TV
       C majorC           D MajorD
Won't mean a thing to me when we're dead


INTERLUDE: E minorEm C majorC G+G  A minorAm C majorC D MajorD

               A minorAm
We're kept separate by the waters
         C majorC
Cut off from one another where we used to play
  G+G                    D MajorD
In fields as kids, at night time with the moon


            A minorAm
Now lets get out of the suburbs
            C majorC
These modern sprawling deserts
            G+G                 D MajorD   E minorEm
And take back all those cities, towns and counties we once knew


CHORUS:
     C majorC        G+G    A minorAm
Left you drowning in the street
     C majorC        D MajorD    E minorEm
Bills, a rope around your neck
     C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
And this big old flatscreen TV
       C majorC            D MajorD   E minorEm
Won't mean a thing to me when you're dead


CHORUS:
     C majorC        G+G
Left you drowning in the street
   A minorAm    C majorC        G+G   D MajorD E minorEm
Well, bills, a rope around your neck
     C majorC       G+G      A minorAm
And we'll talk about the hard times
      C majorC        D MajorD
The ones we ain't be leaving yet


OUTRO: E minorEm C majorC G+G  A minorAm C majorC D MajorD  E minorEm C majorC G+G  A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
