John Gorka - Down In The Milltown
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    C     F    C  
Ah, when my shift is over
And I'm headed homeF  
I don't listen to the radioC  
I like to be alone
I like to be aloneG  F  C  
I've had my fill of people
And all that factory noiseF  
I listen to the engineC  
It's a sound that I enjoy
It's a sound that I enjoyG  F  C  
Well, I drive on past the drive-in
On past the movie lightsF  
Past the fenced in fantasiesC  
That slip into the night
I slip into the nightG  F  C  F  
CHORUS:
Down in the Emmilltown
The Ammilltown Gso FlowC  
Hang your head FoverDm  
Feel the wind CblowF  C  F  
I Cwonder what's for dinner
If she'll be waiting thereF  
She has to wake up earlyC  
She has to do her hair
She has to do her hairG  F  C  
And if I need a cold one
There's a tavern up the streetF  
The company of lonersC  
Is still company to me
Yes, they're company to meG  F  C  F  
CHORUS:
Down in the Emmilltown
The Ammilltown Gso FlowC  
Hang your head FoverDm  
Feel the wind CblowF  C  F  
And if Cmy dreams treat me badly
And I cry out at nightF  
Shake me to my sensesC  
And I will be alright
Yes, I will be alrightG  F  C  F  
CHORUS:
Down in the Emmilltown
The Ammilltown Gso FlowC  
Hang your head FoverDm  
Feel the wind CblowF  
CHORUS:
Down in the Emmilltown
The Ammilltown Gso FlowC  
Hang your head FoverC  
Hang your head FoverC  
Hang your head FoverDm  
Feel the wind CblowF  C  F  C
