John Statz - Ghost Towns Chords

INTRO: Em  C  G    Am  C  D   (2x)

                       Am
Cleveland, Janesville, Camden
                  C
Or East St. Louis, where they used to make
    G                                    D
The things that we would all use every day


                          Am
Now we've shipped it to Korea
           C
China, Indonesia, left like ghost towns 
    G                                 D       Am   C   G     D
The old west, laid to rest and left decayed


                              Am
They say, "Lets get with the program,
                         C
There's nothing like the globalisation" 
       G                                      D
Of our pay-checks, bank accounts and place to stay 


                            Am
Lets give free trade to the masses
               C
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


INTERLUDE: Em  C  G    Am  C  D   


                             Am
We're kept separate by the waters
                  C
Cut off from one another where we used to play
   G                                        D      
In fields as kids, at night time with the moon


                        Am
Now lets get out of the suburbs
                       C
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


OUTRO: Em  C  G    Am  C  D   Em  C  G    Am  C  D
