Papertown – Balsam Range
Capo 2

[Intro]
G D A D

[Verse 1]
G D
Twenty years ‘fore the depression
G D
Peter Thompson staked his claim
G D
In a little mountain town
G A
Canton was her name
G D
Told everyone that was willing
G D
Steady work would be their reward
G D
So they started making paper
G A
Where the pigeon river forks

[Chorus 1]
D G
This ain’t just another papertown
A D
On a random river side
G
She was build with blood and sweat and tears
A D
And a whole lotta pride
G A Bm
From the mountains and the farmland, from the smokestacks she has grown
G D A D
This ain’t just another papertown, it’s the one that I call home
G D A D

[Verse 2]
G D
When wall street was crashing
G D
The mill kept going strong
G D
While Hitler’s war was raging
G A
Everyone worked twice as long
G D
There’s been mergers and sellouts
G D
Layoffs when times got tough
G D
Talks about pollution
G A
Then cleaning the river up

[Chorus 2]
D G
This ain’t just another papertown
A D
Somewhere along the tracks
G
She’s seen her share of ups and downs
