Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Ordinary Town
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD C majorC
G+G C majorC
Common cool, he was a proud young fool
G+G C majorC
In a kick-ass Wal-Mart tie
G+G C majorC
Ripping down the main drag
D MajorD C majorC
Tripping on the headlights rolling by
G+G C majorC
In the early dawn when the cars were gone
G+G C majorC
Did he hear the master's call
D MajorD C majorC
In the five-and-dime did he wake and find
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC D MajorD
He was only dreaming after all, 'cause
CHORUS:
E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
E minorEm
And the prophet stands apart
A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
B7B7 E minorEm
And we brook no wayward heart
C majorC G+G C majorC FF BB
And every highway leads you prodigal back home
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
To the ordinary sidewalks you were born to roam
G+G C majorC
Rock of ages, love contagious
G+G C majorC
Shine the serpent fire
G+G C majorC
So sang the sage of sixteen summers
D MajorD C majorC
In the upstairs choir
G+G C majorC
So sang the old dog down the street
G+G C majorC
Beside his wailing wall
D MajorD C majorC
"Go home, go home", the mayor cried
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC D MajorD
When Jesus came to city hall, 'cause
CHORUS:
E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
E minorEm
And the prophet stands alone
A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
B7B7 E minorEm
And we crucify our own
C majorC G+G C majorC FF BB
And every highway leads you prodigal again
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
To the ordinary houses you were brought up in
INSTRUMENTAL:
G+G C majorC
Raised on hunches and junk food lunches
G+G C majorC
And punch-drunk ballroom steps
G+G C majorC
You get to believing you're even-Steven
D MajorD C majorC
With the kids at Fast-Track Prep
G+G C majorC
So you dump your bucks on a velvet tux
G+G C majorC
And you run and join the dance
D MajorD C majorC
But your holy shows and the Romans know
A minorAm G/BG/B C majorC D MajorD
You're just a child of circumstance, 'cause
CHORUS:
E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
E minorEm
And the prophet has no face
A minorAm D MajorD
This is an ordinary town
B7B7 E minorEm
And the seasons run in place
C majorC G+G C majorC FF BB
And every highway leads you prodigal and true
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
To the ordinary angels watching over you
