David Francey - 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 and worth
C
Hard edged stories from the hard rock towns
G C
I can picture Saturday night
G F
Tyres squealing from the Main Street lights
C F
Hear the creaking of the cables on the cage as it's lowered down
C
Hard luck 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 wide
C
Rode my bike up the bridge, looked back at the paper mill
G C
Through the windows I'd 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 that rose with the mines and mills
G F
Watch the future pass like they're standing still
C
And the kids all leave, like light when the sun goes down
G C
When 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 towns
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
