Tom MacDonald - Coronavirus

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am F C G

[Verse 1]
Am
I don’t know what to think about this virus
F
It started in China, now everybody in America’s hiding
C
There’s no groceries ‘cause people start to panic and buy it
G
The shelves are empty, the ones with plenty, already stockpiling
Am
Y’all making memes, think it’s funny? Wait a week till the riots
F
Wait a month till the only way to eat is be violent
C
It’s not the sickness that’s scary, it’s all the people who’re violent
G
The government’s lying, they’re tryna keep us calm through the sirens
Am
We know it’s for real, and now all the pharmaceutical giants
F
Don’t have the cure that they can sell you, so now everyone’s dying
C
There’s no vaccines and medication made that can fight it
G
I guess it’s time to pray to God, we can’t rely on the science

[Prechorus]
Am
And everyone around me in a mask and some gloves
F
The stock market crashed, and the banks ‘bout to bust
C
Tell us “Sanitize our hands, this will pass, it’s a bug,
G
Stay inside, you’ll be fine”, Till we’re trapped there for months

[Chorus]
Am F
It’s a ghost town, we’re in this together
C G
They’re closing all the stores down, we’re heading for shelter
Am F
It’s a war, now they’ll always remember
C G
We’re locking all our doors down, we’re sticking together
Am
It’s a ghost town

[Verse 2]
Am
This a pandemic, but we don’t listen to the news
F
‘Cause they lied to us for years, so how we know that this the truth?
C
And most of us are young enough to think that we’re immune
G
So we just pass it on to people who won’t survive it like you
Am
It’s either worse than they’re telling us or it’s nothing at all
F
But the schools are shut down and ghosttowning them all
C
They go quarantine the city, block the road out of dodge
G
Then tell us leaving our homes is actually breaking the law
Am
This is just the beginning, you know it’s gotta get worse
F
If the doctors get sick, the hospitals won’t work
C
The conspiracy theories all sound like facts, that’s for sure
G
But the fact is, we’re trapped on this planet called Earth

[Prechorus]
Am
And the bleach gone, the bread gone, the water sold out
F
The meat gone, the milk gone, the pasta sold out
C
Don’t leave anything for anyone, you hoard it for yourself
G
You’d rather tell them “Go to hell” than be a man and go and help

[Chorus]
Am F
It’s a ghost town, we’re in this together
C G
They’re closing all the stores down, we’re heading for shelter
Am F
It’s a war, now they’ll always remember
C G
We’re locking all our doors down, we’re sticking together
Am
It’s a ghost town

[Bridge]
Am
We’re hoping for the best, but we’re preparing for the worst
F
There’s one thing we’re not scared of: it’s hard work
C
We’re up against an enemy that doesn’t have a face
G
There’s no bombs we can drop, there’s nowhere we can aim
Am
There’s no soldiers to stop with a tank at the gates
F
There’s no cure that we’ve got or a pill we can take
C
There’s no food, it’s been bought, the truth is we’re afraid
G
We sit inside our rooms, and we pray

[Chorus]
Am F
It’s a ghost town, we’re in this together
C G
They’re closing all the stores down, we’re heading for shelter
Am F
It’s a war, now they’ll always remember
C G
We’re locking all our doors down, we’re sticking together
Am
It’s a ghost town
