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