[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
Am+ G
Put on a show
F C
From high above watched his boulders roll
C+ Am+ G
Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall
G F Am G
He named his price: his face on every wall. Oh
F Am (fill 1)
his face on every wall
(fill 1)
G

C+ Am+ G
Now the factories have all shut down
F C
No more cloth stitched in this town
C+ Am+ G
So the only job for the boy and I
F C
In the prison making tile shine
C C9 C
Someday that man will come here too
G F C
With that magic hat, spit and glue
C
He'll wash the stone
C9 C
Paint the brick
G
Rename the streets
F Am G
And make the clocks all tick on time
F Am (fill 1)
He'll make us run on time
[Chorus]
C F G C
And every town will celebrate someday
F Am G
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
Dm F
Wearing culture on their backs
G Am
Wearing spirit on their hats
C F G C
One by one they'll join the parade
G
And celebrate
C F G C G
Every town will celebrate someday
