Verse
(mute all strings on this part)
Well, big bad man come into town
Gave 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
He built a hall
AmG
Put on a show
FC
From high above watched his boulders roll
CAmG
Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall
GFAmG
He named his price: his face on every wall. Oh
FAm (fill 1)
his face on every wall
(fill 1)

CAmG
Now the factories have all shut down
FC
No more cloth stitched in this town
CAmG
So the only job for the boy and I
FC
In the prison making tile shine
CC9C
Someday that man will come here too
GFC
With that magic hat, spit and glue
C
He'll wash the stone
C9C
Paint the brick
G
Rename the streets
FAmG
And make the clocks all tick on time
FAm (fill 1)
He'll make us run on time
CFGC
And every town will celebrate someday
FAmG
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
DmF
Wearing culture on their backs
GAm
Wearing spirit on their hats
CFGC
One by one they'll join the parade
G
And celebrate
CFGCG
Every town will celebrate someday
(Bridge)
