These two chords are ‘picked‘ one string at a time from the A 
string down to the open G. i.e. you pick the three notes in the 
first chord, remove one finger and pick the three notes of the 
second chord (I will refer to this as the ‘C Pattern‘). This 
pattern is repeated over and over until the line "oh lord how 
quickly, they changed their tune‘ over which you play (with the 
same ‘plucking‘ pattern as before) - I shall call thi

Then change back to the first pattern for the beginning of the 
next piece of lyric. i.e. 
 
C pattern 
 
When I first came to town 
All the people gathered round 
They bought me drinks 
 
           F pattern                 C Pattern 
Lord, how quickly they changed their tune 
 
rpt over next lyrics; 
 
When I first came to town 
People took me round from end to end 
Like someone may take round a friend 
O how quickly they changed their tune 
 
Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me 
Everywhere I go they confound me 
As though the blood on my hands 
Is there for every citizen to see 
 
F 
O sweet Jesus 
                    C 
There is no turning back 
         Gm              Eb 
There is always one more town 
         Cm               F 
A little further down the track 
C 
And from my window, across the tracks 
I watch the juicers burn their fires 
And in that light 
Their faces leer at me 
      F                       C 
How I wish they‘d just let me be 
C 
When I first came to town 
Their favours were for free 
Now even the doors of the whores of 
 F                       C 
this town Are closed to me
