John Statz - Ghost Towns
INTRO:   Em    C      G    Am    C     D(2x)
Cleveland, Janesville, AmCamden
Or East St. Louis, Cwhere they used to make
The Gthings that we would all use every daDy
Now we've shipped it to KoAmrea
China, IndoCnesia, left like ghost towns 
The Gold west, laid to rest and left deDcayedAm  C  G  D  
They say, "Lets get with the pAmrogram,
There's nothing like the Cglobalisation" 
Of our Gpay-checks, bank accounts and place to Dstay 
Lets give free trade to the Ammasses
Americans have Cassets
Like satellite TGV's, big cars, iPods and fancy dDressEm  
CHORUS:
Left you Cdrowning in the GstreetAm  
Bills, a Crope around your Dneck Em  
And this Cbig old flatGscreen TVAm  
Won't mean a Cthing to me when we're Ddead
INTERLUDE:   Em    C      G    Am    C     D  
We're kept separate by the waAmters
Cut off from one aCnother where we used to play
In Gfields as kids, at night time with the moDon
Now lets get out of the Amsuburbs
These modern sprawling Cdeserts
And take back all those Gcities, towns and counties we once DknewEm  
CHORUS:
Left you Cdrowning in the GstreetAm  
Bills, a Crope around your Dneck Em  
And this Cbig old flatGscreen TVAm  
Won't mean a Cthing to me when you're DdeadEm  
CHORUS:
Left you Cdrowning in the Gstreet
Well, Ambills, a Crope around your GneckD  Em  
And we'll Ctalk about the Ghard timesAm  
The ones we Cain't be leaving Dyet
OUTRO:   Em    C      G    Am    C     D    Em    C      G    Am    C  D

John Statz - Ghost Towns

Em C G Am C D

INTRO: (2x)

Cleveland, Janesville, Camden

Or East St. Louis, where they used to make

G D

The things that we would all use every day

Now we've shipped it to Korea

China, Indonesia, left like ghost towns

G D Am C G D

The old west, laid to rest and left decayed

They say, "Lets get with the program,

There's nothing like the globalisation"

G D

Of our pay-checks, bank accounts and place to stay

Lets give free trade to the masses

Americans have assets

G D Em

Like satellite TV's, big cars, iPods and fancy dress

CHORUS:

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

Em C G Am C D

INTERLUDE:

We're kept separate by the waters

Cut off from one another where we used to play

G D

In fields as kids, at night time with the moon

Now lets get out of the suburbs

These modern sprawling deserts

G D Em

And take back all those cities, towns and counties we once knew

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS:

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

Em C G Am C D Em C G Am C D
