Intro: |C |F Am | G |F C|x2
[no chords]
Well, big bad man come into town
Giving 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
CFAmGFC
He built a hall, put on a show, from high above, watched his boulders roll
CFAm
Then he bought Main Street and the old town hall
GAm
He named his price: his face on every wall.
GFAmG
Ohhh, his face on every wall...
CFAm
Now the factories have all shut down
GFC
No more cloth stitched in this town
CFAmGFC
So the only job for boy and I, in the prison making tile shine
CFAmGFC
Someday that man will come here too, with that magic hat, spit and glue
CFAm
He’ll wash the stone, paint the brick,
GFAmG
Rename the streets and make the clocks all tick... On time
FAmG
He'll make us run on time
[Chorus]:
CFGC
And every town will celebrate someday
FAmG
Waving sweatshop flags and grande lattes
DmFGAm
Wearing culture on their backs, wearing spirit on their hats
CFGG
One by one they’ll join the parade and celebrate
CFCG
Every town will celebrate someday
[Intro]
CFAm
Now corners near and corners far
GFC
Are somehow the same coffee bar
CFAm
And community is felt again
GFC
Thanks to folks I’ve never met
CFAm
They slayed the artists, sold their arts,
GFC
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
CFAm
Raised the prices, raised the rent
GF
Some days I wish that I could go back again
AmGFAmG
Noooo, I can’t go back again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]:
C
Just like they do in Florida
F
Down in Celebration, Florida
G#CmG
And when every road is Main Street, U.S.A.
C
We’ll be safely kept at bay
F
From any disruption or display
G#CmGCm
Of truth, adventure, love and rage
G#CmGCm
Truth, adventure, love and rage
G#CmG
Truth, adventure, love and rage HEY!
[Chorus]
CFGCG
Every Town will celebrate, Every Town will celebrate
CFGC
Every Town will celebrate someday!
