A Good Old Fashioned Town

               G       F
The nearer the border
    C
The higher they hoist the flag
                       G                            F
Like the father of the house wants the world to know
    C
The race he'd like his daughters to shag

        F                      C
And the louder they sing their anthem
                       G
The more likely their history graced
                F           C
With that badge kissing, fanfare blowing
              D
Idiot painted face

     Gm
Everyone stands up
          D                       Gm
When they hear those trumpets sound
Everyone, stand up
     D                  Gm
In a good old-fashioned town
       Cm                         Gm
If you can't tell what they're singing
             Cm                   Gm
It's usually who they'd like to drown
In a flag-waving, chest-beating
D7                 Gm
Good old-fashioned town

G  F  C  C

                      G        F
When someone starts a sentence
      C
With "I'm not racist, but--"
     C                                 G    F     C
You know that the sentence is bound to end
                 C
With where they think they should be put

        F                      C
So next time you hear them singing
     G
Of a land so free and brave
    F                   C
You know the place they hang their flag
                         D
Is where they hung their slave

     Gm
Everyone stands up
          D                       Gm
When they hear those trumpets sound
Everyone, stand up
     D                  Gm
In a good old-fashioned town
       Cm                         Gm
If you can't tell what they're singing
             Cm                   Gm
It's usually who they'd like to drown
In a flag-waving, chest-beating
D7                 Gm

Gm  x4

Gm             D7           Gm
Flying flag is just another way
             D                        Gm
The insecure announce they're here to stay
Cm   Eb               Gm          Cm               Bb
  So if you love your country and love your fellow man
Gm               D7                Gm
Display, please, as quietly as you can

     Gm
Everyone stands up
          D                       Gm
When they hear those trumpets sound
Everyone, stand up
     D                  Gm
In a good old-fashioned town
       Cm                         Gm
If you can't tell what they're singing
             Cm                   Gm
It's usually who they'd like to drown
In a flag-waving, chest-beating
D7                 Gm
Good old-fashioned town
