Mill Towns

CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: C G C G C G C Heard a voice call down from the lonesome north G F Singing songs of the work I'm worth C I'd heard stories from the hard north towns G C I can picture Saturday night G F Tyres squealing from the Main Street lights C F At the creaking on the cables and the cage as it's lowered down C Hard edged stories from the streets of a mining town CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down G C I was raised by the Seaway side G F Staring out at the River Wye C Hauled my bike up the bridge, looked back at the paper mill G C Through the windows I try and see G F What the future held for the likes of me C F I can hear the shift-change siren still C In the Seaway city by the stacks of the paper mill CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down INSTRUMENTAL: C G F C G F C G C And the towns arose with the mines and mills G F Watched the future pass like it's standing still C And the kids all leave like light when the sun goes down G C And you go back now and you walk the streets G F And there's parking lots where the buildings used to be C F Night still falls, but it doesn't make a sound C Long shadows fall on the streets of a cold mill town CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down CHORUS: Don't follow me in, boys G Don't follow me in, boys F Don't follow me in, boys C Don't follow me down
