The Nightwatchman
The Nightwatchman: Union Town

Capo 4th fret (In the video it's on the 5th, but Tom keeps his guitar tuned down half a step)
Haven't sorted the solo out yet, maybe at some point I will though!

VERSE 1:
     C                              F              C
Good memories last forever Said the dog on the tombstone
          C                                 F                 C
If you're living underneath the bridge, man all roads lead to home
        G                                    F
I got a hidden flask, I'm paid in cash got a cross above my bed
           C                        F                       C
You know I hitch-hiked from Chicago and a man walked up and said


CHORUS:
          C                        F            C
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
          C                        F            C
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
               G                                   F
And if they've come to strip our rights away we'll give them hell every time
          C                        F            C
This is a union town, a union town all down the line


VERSE 2:
          C                              F                C
Today the policeman a union man, brother firefighter's my friend
        C                              F                C
And the kids locked in the Capitol are fighting til the end
    G                                 F
And we're not gonna break tonight and we're not gonna bend
             C                                   F         C
Some say the union's down but I asked around and everybody said


CHORUS:
          C                        F            C

          C                        F            C
This is a union town, a union town all down the line
               G                                   F
And if they've come to strip our rights away we'll give them hell every time
          C                        F            C
This is a union town, a union town all down the line


SOLO (Verse chords and timing)


VERSE 3:
    C                         F             C
For every action, a  reaction equal and opposite
           C                                   F              C
And that's why my friend the blood tastes good every time I'm hit
        G                                       F

        C                                   F               C
So come rain or sleet or dark of night come wind or fridgid snow
          C                                        F              C
There's a hundred thousand in the streets and that number's gonna grow
            G                              F
And when we put the governer on trial I'll be in the front row
            C                                 F              C
