Capo 4th fret (In the video it's on the 5th, but Tom keeps his guitar tuned down half a step)
Haven't sorted the solo out yet, maybe at some point I will though!
VERSE 1:
Good Ememories last forever Said the Adog on the tombEstone
If you're Eliving underneath the bridge, man Aall roads lead to Ehome
I got a Bhidden flask, I'm paid in cash got a Across above my bed
You know I Ehitch-hiked from Chicago Aand a man walked up and Esaid
CHORUS:
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
And if they've Bcome to strip our rights away we'll Agive them hell every time
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
VERSE 2:
Today the Epoliceman a union man, brother Afirefighter's my Efriend
And the Ekids locked in the Capitol are Afighting til the Eend
And Bwe're not gonna break tonight and Awe're not gonna bend
Some say the Eunion's down but I asked around and Aeverybody Esaid
CHORUS:
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
And if they've Bcome to strip our rights away we'll Agive them hell every time
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
SOLO (Verse chords and timing)
VERSE 3:
For Eevery action, a  reaction Aequal and oppoEsite
And that's Ewhy my friend the blood tastes good Aevery time I'm Ehit
I got a Bwill to win and a chesire grin yeah the Anightwatch man is near
And Eyou can't get it where you're at but Ayou can sure get it Ehere
So come Erain or sleet or dark of night come Awind or fridgid Esnow
There's a Ehundred thousand in the streets and that Anumber's gonna Egrow
And when we Bput the governer on trial I'll Abe in the front row
Just take a Elook around, we're a union town 1, A2, 3, 4 let's Ego!
CHORUS:
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
This is a Eunion town, a union town Aall down the Eline
