Intro:
| C| F   Am|  G| F  C| x2
N.C.
Well, big bad man come into town
Giving sweets to the children, pushed their daddies around
Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight
No more fear in the hearts of whites
CHe built a hall, put Fon a Amshow, from hGigh above, watched his Fboulders Croll
CThen he bought Main Street and the Fold towAmn hall
GHe named his price: his face on every Amwall.
GOhhh, his face on every wallF...Am  G  
Now the fCactories have all Fshut dAmown
GNo more cloth stitched iFn this Ctown
CSo the only job for bFoy and AmI, in the pGrison making tFile sChine
CSomeday that man will cFome here tAmoo, with that Gmagic hat, Fspit and Cglue
He’ll Cwash the stone, Fpaint the Ambrick,
GRename the streets and make the clocks all Ftick... AmOn Gtime
He'll make us run on tiFmeAm  G  
[Chorus]
CAnd every town will celebrate soFmedayG  C

Every Town Will Celebrate – Erik Petersen

Intro:

C F Am G F C

| | | | | x2

N.C.

Well, big bad man come into town

Giving sweets to the children, pushed their daddies around

Made the streets so bright in the zones of blight

No more fear in the hearts of whites

C F Am G F C

He built a hall, put on a show, from high above, watched his boulders roll

C F Am

Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall

G Am

He named his price: his face on every wall.

G F Am G

Ohhh, his face on every wall...

C F Am

Now the factories have all shut down

G F C

No more cloth stitched in this town

C F Am G F C

So the only job for boy and I, in the prison making tile shine

C F Am G F C

Someday that man will come here too, with that magic hat, spit and glue

C F Am

He’ll wash the stone, paint the brick,

G F Am G

Rename the streets and make the clocks all tick... On time

F Am G

He'll make us run on time

[Chorus]

C F G C

And every town will celebrate someday

F Am G

Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes

Dm F G Am

Wearing culture on their backs, wearing spirit on their hats

C F G G

One by one they’ll join the parade and celebrate

C F C G

Every town will celebrate someday

[Intro]

C F Am

Now corners near and corners far

G F C

Are somehow the same coffee bar

C F Am

And community is felt again

G F C

Thanks to folks I’ve never met

C F Am

They slayed the artists, sold their arts,

G F C

Gave the toddlers shopping carts

C F Am

Raised the prices, raised the rent

G F

Some days I wish that I could go back again

Am G F Am G

Noooo, I can’t go back again

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Just like they do in Florida

Down in Celebration, Florida

G# Cm G

And when every road is Main Street, U.S.A.

We’ll be safely kept at bay

From any disruption or display

G# Cm G Cm

Of truth, adventure, love and rage

G# Cm G Cm

Truth, adventure, love and rage

G# Cm G

Truth, adventure, love and rage HEY!

[Chorus]

C F G C G

Every Town will celebrate, Every Town will celebrate

C F G C

Every Town will celebrate someday!
