Sing Captain

Intro: alternate between C and F, lyrics start partway through an F chord

F           C    F              C     F
  There's a town, just a little town
          C    F         C      F
Ringed in cloud, a hollow sound
         Am            F      C  F  C
When our lovers gather round
F                C    F
  And if they're cold
             C   F
Then they're cold
          C   F           C     F
Feed them wire, feed them chrome
             Am        F
We hate this place here
         C   F          C   F
It's our home, it's our home

         Am      Am       Am       Am  F                   C    F  C  F
And your call collapsing treasons, I'd return them back to sound
         Am      Am     Am       Am   F                C     F  C  F
With the torches in our hands we will reduce it to the ground

F            C   F                    C    F
  I stood outside in the bright black night
              C      F      C    F
Beneath their buzzing power lines
            Am    F       C  F        C  F  C
And I saw a number in the sky, in the sky
F                  C   F              C   F
  And if there's a God, he's a little gone
                 C      F            C     F
And he holds you closely inside these walls
                 Am             F  C  F  C  F
But he hates his babies most of all

         Am      Am       Am       Am  F                   C    F  C  F
And your call collapsing treasons, I'd return them back to sound
         Am      Am     Am       Am   F                C     F  C  F
With the torches in our hands we will reduce it to the ground
       Am    Am      Am       Am     F                  C  F  C  F
In the parliament of days the little hands are reaching out
        Am      Am      Am      Am   F               C    F  C  F
You can try and try and try but baby there's no way around
