Cm                       Bb
I was born in the land of plenty
  Dm              D#
I was raised as a privileged child
  Cm                      Bb
This was once a great community
  Dm             D#
So they say, I don't know why


  Cm                Bb
We built ships and automobiles
  Dm             D#
We made unions, guns and steel
  Cm                      Bb
Money talks in the angel's silence
  Dm               D#
Selling out once great ideals



[Chorus]

  D#
Living in a ghost town
  Dm
Feeling like a class clown
  Dm
Running with the magpies
  D#
Walking like a crow
  D#
Never saw the factory
  Dm             Cm  Dm
When it made out history
  Dm                              D#
Now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows

  D#
Living in a ghost town
  Dm
Feeling like a class clown
  Dm
Running with the magpies
  D#
Walking like a crow
  D#
Never saw the factory
  Dm             Cm  Dm
When it made out history
  Dm                              D#
Now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows



[Verse 2]

  Cm                             Bb
Born with promise and chance of plenty
  Dm                 D#
Walked that road in paramount shoes
  Cm                       Bb
Couldn't play the abacus melody
  Dm                     D#
All I ever wanted was to be of use

  Cm                       Bb
One big chord of mocking birds
  Dm                 D#
Cover the sky like a big f-word
  Cm                        Bb
Fame will get you heaps of treasure
  Dm           D#
Dedication is just a word



[Chorus]

  D#
Living in a ghost town
  Dm
Feeling like a class clown
  Dm
Running with the magpies
  D#
Walking like a crow
  D#
Never saw the factory
  Dm             Cm  Dm
When it made out history
  Dm                              D#
Now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows


  D#
Living in a ghost town
  Dm
Feeling like a class clown
  Dm
Running with the magpies
  D#
Walking like a crow
  D#
Never saw the factory
  Dm             Cm  Dm
When it made out history
  Dm                              D#
Now it's just a patch where the pennyroyal grows
