One-Horse Town by Jim Henry
One-Horse Town
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C D G C D G C D
[Verse 1]
G D
He was leaving home on Saturday
Em C
So the whole town gathered at the picket gate
G D C G C D
To wave him off 'cause he was New York City bound
G D
His Mama cried as he pulled away
Em C
His Daddy smiled as if to say
G D C G
"You're the last of three to get out of this one-horse town"
[Interlude]
C D G C D
[Verse 2]
G D
Then the wind picked up and the rain came down
Em C
And everybody headed for the center of town
G D C G C D
Where there was cold beer and stories at the bar
G D
But we forgot about the pouring rain
Em C
Before too long there was music playing
G D C G
The Mama and the Daddy danced 'til the pain was gone
[Chorus]
C G
They're living it up in a one-horse town
D G
A peck on the cheek when there's no one around
C Em
The squeak of the door at the general store
D
And an old man's smile
C G
The kids want to leave this life behind
D Em
Discover the world beyond the county line
C
But they got a good start
D G C D
Straight from the heart of a one-horse town
[Verse 3]
G D
On the summer nights when the wind won't blow
Em C
The Daddy tunes in the radio
G D C G C D
To cities close to where the kids have gone
G D
Jennifer's warm in Santa Fe
Em C
Jesse's all clear in Portland, Maine
G D C G
But Jimmy in New York City can't see the stars
[Chorus]
C G
They're living it up in a one-horse town
D G
A peck on the cheek when there's no one around
C Em
The squeak of the door at the general store
D
And an old man's smile
C G
The kids want to leave this life behind
D Em
Discover the world beyond the county line
C
But they got a good start
D G C D
Straight from the heart of a one-horse town
[Verse 4]
G D
One day the Daddy got a big surprise
Em C
The Mama held him close, looked him right in the eye
G D C G C D
Said, "It's a long, long time since we've been in this house alone
G D
We spent our lives with kids to raise
Em C
But now that they're gone and on their way
G D C G
It's you and me, we're still in love in this one-horse town"
[Chorus]
C G
They're living it up in a one-horse town
D G
A peck on the cheek when there's no one around
C Em
The squeak of the door at the general store
D
And an old man's smile
C G
The kids want to leave this life behind
D Em
Discover the world beyond the county line
C
But they got a good start
D G
Straight from the heart of a one-horse town
C
But they got a good start
D C G
Straight from the heart of a one-horse town
