[Intro]
Dsus2  Cadd9  G/B
Dsus2  Cadd9  G/B
 
[Bridge]
     D
I’ve seen the sunrise in my mama’s eyes
             Cadd9                  G/B
I heard them babies cry, heard them babies cry
     D                        Cadd9       G/B
When Daddy died, I heard them babies cry
      D
We’ll sell the diamond rings, all the pretty things
        Cadd9                G/B
All the precious things, for pocket change
   D                    Cadd9       G/B
We gotta leave, so sell everything
 
[Verse 1]
          D
There’s a foul wind blowing in from town
Cadd9                              G/B
Diesels and dozers on holy ground, making room for strip malls
                  D
Where they buried Paw Paw
        D
And the black top sheet is drying out the creek
     Cadd9
They poisoned the land below my feet
    G/B                                                D
And power lines statics to made another addict build a meth lab
     Cadd9           G/B          D
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
     Cadd9           G/B          D
Yeah things sure did change...
 
[Verse 2]
               D
Well there’s a methadone line a half a mile long
         Cadd9
Pass the high school that failed us all
        G/B                                                  D
And the gang sign on the brick wall says you’re going to get beat down
D
Well that don’t work with me, son
        Cadd9
I got a will to survive and plenty of guns
        G/B                                     D
But I’m gonna walk away this time and find some middle ground
 
     Cadd9           G/B          D
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
     Cadd9           G/B
Yeah things sure did change
 
[Verse 3]
          D
There’s a foul wind blowing in from town
Cadd9                              G/B
Diesels and dozers on holy ground, making room for strip malls
                  D
Where they buried Paw Paw
        D
And the black top sheet is drying out the creek
     Cadd9
They poisoned the land below my feet
    G/B                                                D
And power lines statics to made another addict build a meth lab
     Cadd9           G/B          D
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
     Cadd9           G/B          D
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown

[Outro]

I’ve seen the sunrise in my mama’s eyes
             Cadd9                  G/B
I heard them babies cry, heard them babies cry
     D                        Cadd9       G/B

                                            D
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
