More chords by Utah Phillips
Genre: folk, country, americana
C
Slow rolling freight from the South Ogden yard
F C
Easing along down the line
F C
The Pig Hollow jungle camp swings into view
C G7
You roll off and here's what you find
C
The ruins and ashes lie scattered around
F C
The jungle is empty and bare
F C
The shanties and tents are all burned to the ground
G C
Not a fire or a friend anywhere
C
A rich man he lives in a house made of stone
F C
High on a hill looking down
F C
A poor man he lives in a tarpaper shack
C G G7
Way out on the back side of town
C
But a rich man don't worry about his fine house
F C
It's protected like you never saw
F C
While a poor man gets railroaded out by the cops
C G
And his house gets burned down by the law
C
A poor man is fighting for all that he has
F C
He stands with his back to the wall
F C
A rich man he spends nearly half of his life
G7
Just chasing a little white ball
C
But a rich man he says that Pig Hollow must go
F C
It's a place where the crooks rendezvous
F C
But don't you suppose if you burned down the bank
G C
You might flush a scoundrel or two?
C
And don't you suppose if a bum with a torch
F C
Set fire to some big fancy hall
F C
The cops'd come down like a blood-thirsty hound
G7
And flat nail his hide to the wall?
C
It seems like the laws are all made for the rich
F C
They've got you boys, win, lose or draw;
F C
Try as you may to keep out of their way
G C
You just get burned out by the law
