A  E  B7  E



🎸 Verse 1:
         E                     A              E
They had meant for me one last time to see my hometown again
      B7                                      E
Once again go there see the places where as a child I've been
                          A                 E
As I journeyed now it was so far out it was almost in
A      E             B7          E
In the middle in the middle of nowhere

🎸 Verse 2:
                            A                     E
Sadness talked with me as I walked the streets of my memory
             B7                                           E
Streets that seemed somehow so much smaller now than they used to be
                               A                   E
Talked of other days when this tiny place had been home to me
A      E             B7          E
In the middle in the middle of nowhere

🎸 Chorus: 
                                    A
People stared at me in silence as I walked around
         E                                 B7
Time had passed till I was just a stranger there
          E                    E7          A
Folks had changed so much that no one even knew me now
       E             B7          E
In the middle in the middle of nowhere

🎸 Verse 3:
                         A                  E
I went once again to the schoolyard where I used to play
           B7                                 E
Passed the church of mom and daddy where they used to pray
                           A                     E
Down the dusty road to the churchyard where they both now lay
A      E             B7          E
In the middle in the middle of nowhere

🎸 Chorus: 
                                         A
As I placed my blue forget-me-nots there on the ground
         E                              B7
One last time I knelt by mom and dad in prayer
       E                            A
Then I said goodbye forever to that little town
       E             B7          A     E
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
