Promnight In Pigtown

Biography:

John Gorka (born in July 1958) is an American contemporary folk musician. In 1991, Rolling Stone magazine called him "the pre-eminent male singer-songwriter of what has been dubbed the New Folk Movement.

Gorka was born in Edison, New Jersey. He received his first guitar as a Christmas gift, though Gorka alleges that his older brother stole it from him shortly thereafter. He eventually learned, instead, to play the banjo, and began performing in a folk music group at his church.

John Gorka - Promnight in Pigtown

CAPO: 4th Fret

INTRO: D G (4x)

D
There were flowers from the boy pigs
G D
Who were drinking in their barn digs
Bm A
In suits of powdered blue
Em A
With those ruffled shirts on, too
D G D G
All ordered through the mail

D
It was prom night in pig town
G D
There was ham bones in long gowns
Bm A
With painted cloven hooves
Em A
There was no need for shoes
D G D G
Or the curlers in their tails

D
Couples had their pictures taken
G D
Beneath those clothes, the heat was bakin'
Bm A
They pretended to be cool
Em A
'Cause they'd soon be out of school
D G D G
And the night a memory

D
They ate with noise, food by the plates-full
G D
But on the dance floor, they were so graceful
Bm A
They'd glide without a care
Em A
Their snouts tucked in the air
D G D G
It was a sight to see

BRIDGE:
F# Bm
After desserts, they bobbed for apples
F# Bm
All knowing soon, they could be scrapple
Em D
Another packaged, processed food
Em D
They bore no attitude
A
Or grudge against the world

G D
The prom queen was dancing real slow
G D
With her silk purse and her proud beau
Bm A
Oinking low and soft
Em A
They quietly slipped off
D G D G
With her new string of pearls

D
They all left in even numbers
G D
Some to find love, some to find slumber
Bm A
And some stayed up all night
Em A
To meet the morning light
D G D G
Some went to the shore

BRIDGE:
F# Bm
And after that, the class would scatter
F# Bm
From Delaware, to deli platters
Em D
All would lose a friend
Em D
They were noble 'til the end
A F
Never asked for more

D
One little piggy went to market
F D
One little piggy went to Rome
F D
One little piggy had roast beef
Gm D
One little piggy had none
Gm D
One little piggy had none
G D
It was prom night in pig town
