	        John Statz - Ghost Towns 




Intro: Em  C  G    Am  C  D   (2x) 

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


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


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


                            Am 
Lets give free trade to the masses 
               C 
Americans have assets 
                G                               D       Em 
Like satellite TV's, big cars, iPods and fancy dress 



         C               G        Am 
Left you drowning in the street 
         C               D       Em 
Bills, a rope around your neck  
         C           G           Am 
And this big old flatscreen TV 
             C                      D 
Won't mean a thing to me when we're dead
 


INTERLUDE: Em  C  G    Am  C  D    


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


                        Am 
Now lets get out of the suburbs 
                       C 
These modern sprawling deserts 
                        G                                  D      Em 
And take back all those cities, towns and counties we once knew 


 
         C               G        Am 
Left you drowning in the street 
         C               D       Em 
Bills, a rope around your neck  
         C           G           Am 
And this big old flatscreen TV 
             C                       D      Em 
Won't mean a thing to me when you're dead 



         C               G         
Left you drowning in the street 
      Am       C                G     D Em 
Well, bills, a rope around your neck 
          C              G            Am 
And we'll talk about the hard times 
            C                D     
The ones we ain't be leaving yet
