Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C F
Walkin' down the street of my little town
C F
All those old, old buildings just a little run down
C Am
Hotels and railroads they've mostly gone to dust
F G
I wonder is it true, what they say about the rest of us.
C F
All of my people, they're outside of town
C F
Underneath those Norway pines in that immigrant ground
C Am
I go out there sometimes and I read the names
F G
I wonder did they look like me, did they feel the same
[Chorus]
F C
About my little town, 'bout my little town
Am F
I guess I didn't, I didn't fall too far from the nest
Am F G
That wide spot in the King of Trails a little bit east of west
F C
That's my little town, that's my little town
[Verse 2]
C F
I sure miss the feelin' of slidin' down Mrs. Meyers' hill
C F
She didn't like it all that much but that was part of the thrill
C Am
Momma didn't like it either, in fact the word she used was no.
F G
I've got the scars to prove I once flew all those years ago.
C F
Just across from great grandpa's house up on Saint Olaf's street
C F
Little norwegian lutheran church and vesper bell so sweet
C
You could feel those ancient rhythms for the day they were a town
F G
For every wayward child it was time to go back home
[Chorus]
F C
In my little town, in my little town
Am F
Well I guess I didn't, I didn't fall too far from the nest
Am F G
That wide spot in the King of Trails a little bit east of west
F C
That's my little town, that's my little town
[Outro]
F C
That's my little town, my little town
