Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][G][C][G][D]
[D][D][G][Bm][C]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]eight years old
And running with
a [C]dime [G]in my [D]hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for [G]my [D]old [C]man
I'd [G]sit on his lap
in that big old Buick
And [C]steer as we [G]drove through [D]town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "son, take a [G]good [D]look a[C]round"

[Chorus 1]
This is [G]your hometown
This is [C]your [G]home[D]town
This is your hometown
This is [G]your [D]home[C]town
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
In [G]'65 tension was running high
At [C]my [G]high [D]school
There was a [D]lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was [G]nothing [D]you could [C]do
Two [G]cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the [C]back seat [G]there was a [D]gun
Words were passed
in a shotgun blast
Troubled [G]times [D]had [C]come

[Chorus 2]
To [G]my hometown
To [C]my [G]home[D]town
To my hometown
To [G]my [D]home[C]town
[G][G]

[Bridge 1]
Now [Em]Main Street's whitewashed windows
And [G]vacant stores
Seems [Em]like there ain't nobody
Wants to come [G]down here no more
They're [C]closing down the textile mill
A[G]cross the railroad tracks
Foreman [C]says, "these jobs are going, boys
And [G]they ain't coming [D]back

[Chorus 3]
To [G]your hometown
To [C]your [G]home[D]town
To your hometown
To [G]your [D]home[C]town
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
Last [G]night me and Kate
we laid in bed
[C]Talking 'bout [G]getting [D]out
Packing up our bags, maybe [G]hea[D]ding [C]south
I'm [G]thirty-five, we got a boy of [C]our [G]own [D]now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, [G]"son, take a [D]good look a[C]round

[Outro 1]
This is [G]your hometown
[G][C][G][D]
[D][D][G][D][C]
[repeat and fade]
