Home Town
Capo:no capo
D A Bm F#m G D G A
Of all the stupid things I could have thought this was the worst
D A Bm F#m G D G A
I started to believe that I was born at seventeen
D A Bm F#m G D G A

D A Bm F#m G D G A

D A Bm F#m G D G A

Chorus
Bm F#m G D A
Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same
Bm F#m G
Back to my home town, 'cause it's been so long,
A Eadd9*
[*E with pinky on 2nd fret of high e]
and I'm wondering if it's still there.
D A Bm F#m G D G A
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
D A Bm F#m G D G A
And when the going's rough we kill the pain and relocate
D A Bm F#m G D G A
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
D A Bm F#m G D G A
But we never leave the past behind we just accumulate
D A Bm F#m G D G A
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
D A Bm F#m G D G A
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells and I want to go back to
my

Back to my . .
