[Intro 1]
[G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Well they fi[D]nally put that
red light up in the heart [G]of town
Took the stop [D]sign down,
it was shot up [G]anyhow
[D]One night I ran right through it,
[G]in my Chevrolet
Both police [D]cars came, but I got [G]away

[Verse 2]
It was a [A]boom town back in Â'62
Till the coal [G]ran out and the drought
came though
And they [D]dammed the river that
we all use [A]to fish[G]
[A]Population 405 and [G]I made
it 404 one night
Left the [D]city limit sign laying
in the [A]ditch
Run plum [G]over it
Leaving [D]Met[G]ropolis

[Verse 3]
Well I found [D]myself in a big high rise
with a con[G]crete yard
Ain't safe [D]after dark,
guess this old boy drove [G]too far
Met a girl, [D]fell in love,
got married and she's due [G]in May

[Verse 4]
Says we're gonna need [D]more space,
I said I know [G]just the place
Where we can walk down to the coun[A]try store
[G]and we won't even have to [A]lock our door
And we can [G]still get air and
[D]water there for [Em]free[D]
[G]She said, Â"That sound
[A]s good [G]to me.Â"

[Verse 5]
It was a [A]boom town back in Â'62
Till the coal [G]ran out and the drought
came though
And they [D]dammed the river that we
all use [A]to fish[G]
[A]Population 404 and when we [G]pull in
it'll be three more
And there's a [D]city limit sign
laying in the [A]ditch
That I [G]need to fix
Back in Met[D]ropolis[G]

[Verse 6]
Almost in Met[D]ropolis[G]
Coming up on Met[D]ropolis[G]
I'm back in Metropolis
[A]
