26 Cops 
by Chicago Farmer
I like to play this with a capo on the 4th fret, 
but it sounds fine open.
GLet me tell you about a little Ctown here in this worldG  
GWe got one police officer cop yeah for Cevery boy and Dgirl
GThey're there to protect you during the day
OvCer protect at nigGht
GWe got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, Dpopulation 2G5
There's one for John the factory worker and one for my cousin Lou
There's one for my mom the school teacher, for my dad they've got two
There's one for the town psychologist who sits and wonders why
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 25
We're walking down the poverty line and the streets all gone to hell
Library could fall at any time, hardware store already fell
And I wonder where all my money goes, why the taxes so damn high
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 25
Some things are going to have to change after I sing you this song
This town can't hold the both of us, one must be moving on
And you know that I love you with all my heart but I can't take anymore
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 24
