Biography:
Cody is a folk-singer’s folk-singer and a poet’s poet. He was born and bred in Delavan IL, population 25, surrounded by the endless skies of the American Midwest. Before moving to Chicago in 2003, Cody tried his hand at sessions in Nashville and carefully hewed and tested his art in college town bars and honky-tonks around the Midwest. He now plays regularly in the city and it’s not uncommon to see whole rooms full of strangers erupt and sing along to the choruses of his songs on their first listen (I’ve seen it happen).

26 Cops
by Chicago Farmer
I like to play this with a capo on the 4th fret,
but it sounds fine open.

We got one police officer cop yeah for every boy and girl

We got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 25
There's one for John the factory worker and one for my cousin Lou
There's one for my mom the school teacher, for my dad they've got two
There's one for the town psychologist who sits and wonders why
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 25
We're walking down the poverty line and the streets all gone to hell
Library could fall at any time, hardware store already fell
And I wonder where all my money goes, why the taxes so damn high
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 25
Some things are going to have to change after I sing you this song
This town can't hold the both of us, one must be moving on
And you know that I love you with all my heart but I can't take anymore
We've got 26 cops in Delavan Illinois, population 24
