Our Little Old Home Town chords by Johnny Cash

Intro:

D

Verse 1:

D                                   G
In man’s fear of isolation what was once a Indian nation
D                                 A
Is crowed now with people like so many grains of sand
D                               G
Livin’ stacked upon each other, scared to death of one another
D                            A                D
Forgetin’ we're all brothers forgettin' God’s command

Chorus:

        G                         D
Lookin’ out my hotel window forty floors above the ground
    G                       D     A
Get me out of this tower of Babel before the good Lord pulls it down
      D                                   G        D
Jesus I can’t feel your presence, are you anywhere around
                                   A                 D
Or did we all go off and leave you in our little old home town

Verse 2:

D                                        G
Lord above how it must hurt you for your children to desert you
D                                    A
Like a little town in Kansas or them Arkansas cotton fields
D                                         G
The only place I’ve seen you mentioned is the sign above the mission
      D                                 A             D
Jesus saves but no one listens all they want's a good hot meal

Interlude:

D

Verse 3:

D                                  G
Gideon Bible on the table, tried to read but I wasn’t able
D                                     A
So I turned on the TV and watched the news on channel five
D                               G
What I saw filled me with pity: poverty, crime, and misery
        D                           A                     D
In this great, big Godless city where they're strugglin' to survive

Chorus:

        G                         D
Lookin’ out my hotel window forty floors above the ground
    G                       D     A
Get me out of this tower of Babel before the good Lord pulls it down
      D                                   G        D
Jesus I can’t feel your presence, are you anywhere around
                                   A                 D
Or did we all go off and leave you in our little old home town

Chorus:

        G                         D
Lookin’ out my hotel window forty floors above the ground
    G                       D     A
Get me out of this tower of Babel before the good Lord pulls it down
      D                                   G        D
Jesus I can’t feel your presence, are you anywhere around
                                   A                 D
Or did we all go off and leave you in our little old home town

        G                         D
Lookin’ out my hotel window forty floors above the ground
    G                       D     A
Get me out of this tower of Babel before the good Lord pulls it down
      D                                   G        D
Jesus I can’t feel your presence, are you anywhere around
                                   A                 D
