Practice this pattern over and over 
and the song should come pretty 
naturally. Not the hardest song to 
learn,
but definitely not easy by any 
means.

I personally find that practicing 
the strumming pattern without using 
any chords (with the strings 
deadened)
helps the pattern come more quickly.

You only use this pattern for the 
intro and verses. For the pre 
choruses and chorus you can use
standard down down up up down up 
strumming (or any 4/4 pattern you 
want).

On the bridge there is some 
syncopated strumming during the 
bridge, just listen to the song and 
copy. This may
be another strumming pattern you 
need to spend some time practicing 
before you can execute it cleanly, 
but
don't give up and you will get it 
eventually!

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Well,big bad man come into town
N.C.
Giving sweets to the children, 
pushed their daddies around
N.C
Made the streets so bright in the 
zones of blight
N.C
No more fear in the hearts of whites
C                    F     Am
He built a hall, put on a show
G                             F  
From high above watched his 
     C
boulders roll
C                                 
Then he bought main street and the
  F        Am
 old town hall
G                             
He named his price: his face on 
         F
every wall (strum both chords once)
Am       G      F              
WOOOOAAAAH his face on every 
Am   G
wall!

C                       F        Am
Now the factories have all shut down
G                      F        C
No more cloth stitched in this town
C                     F     Am
So they only job for boy and I
G                     F     C
In the prison making tile shine
Continúa después del anuncio
C                      F        Am
Someday that man will come here too
G                     F        C
With that magic hat, spit and glue
C                     F         
He'll wash the stone, paint the 
Am
brick
G                             
Rename the streets and make the 
             F
clocks all tick
Am       G                       
OOooooon time, he'll make us run 
   F       Am   G
on time! (this line is the pre 
chorus)


[Chorus]
C                   F      
And every town will celebrate 
G      C
someday
       F                    Am    
Waving sweatshop flags and grande 
   G
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 
           G
parade and celebrate!
C                     F     
Yeah every town will celebrate

C                     F       Am
Now corners near and corners far
G                    F      C

C                 F    Am
And community is felt again
G                    F      C
Thanks to folks I've never met
     C                   F        
They slayed the artists, stole 
   Am
their arts
G                  F        C
Gave the toddlers shopping carts
C                  F          Am
Raised the prices, raised the rent
G                              
Some days I wish that I could go 
         F

Am   G                    F     
Nooooo, I can't go back again!
