Wake the union [E] sound the alarm
[C] They're storming the gates of [D] the old city farm
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town [Am] no more
[E]
[Am] Within the night [E] bent, surged from the fog
[C] Shepherds are honing [D] their knives on the block
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town [Am] no more
[F] [G]
[C] Singing and dancing [D] up on the hill
[Em] But down in [A] the street we're [C] paying [D] the bills
[Am] For wheelers and deans, [E] fixers and spies
[C] Cash in their checks, [D] they're peddling their lives
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town [Am] no more
[F] [E]
[Am] Smart money sailing [E] out to the east
[C] Plans have been hatched [D] and palms have been greased
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town [C#] no [Am] more
[E]
[Am] Call out the coast guard, [E] send up the flare
[C] The iceberg's coming, [D] no one cares
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town no [Am] [F] more
[G]
[C] Give a deck, you [D] know nothing's changed
[Em] Books have [D] been cooked, [C] chairs [D] rearranged
[Am] But I'm in a [E] lifeboat over the side
I'm [C] pulling away on [D] the sweet morning tide
[F] So I won't go down [E] to the company town [Am] no more

[C] [D]
[F] [Dm] [G#] [E]
[Am] [F] [E]
[Am] Happy junior, [E] written and [C] bound
The party's over and [D] I'm hurting like hell
[Dm] His one-lost soul [E] that won't be found
[C] When the trumpet feels [D] the judgment sound
[F] I won't go [Dm] [Am] down [E] to the company town [Em] no [Am] more
