One horse town - Elton John

Verse 1:
B
Saw a Cadillac for the first time yesterday
Bm                                        E
I'd always seen horses, buggies, bales of hay
Am                                                 D
'Cause progress here don't move with modern times
F#
There's nothing to steal
                F                   E      D   C
So there's not a great deal of crime - oh! oh!

Chorus 1:
C
It sure is hell living in a one horse town
Bm                                      E
There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground
Am                                D
Nothing much doing of an afternoon
F#                                        F                   E D C
Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune

Chorus 2:
Ab                                                            Dbm
And they ain't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes
                Bb                                          Db
But if you want to hear Susanna then they'll pick all night
            C
They'll pick all night

Verse 2:
B
'Cause it's no dice living in a one horse town
Bm                      E
Laid back, as my old coon hound
Am                                                      D
And I just can't wait to get out of this one horse town
F#                                                F                E D C
There's nothing to steal 'cause there's simply nothing much around

Chorus 2:
Ab                                                            Dbm
And they ain't too well acquainted with the stars and stripes
                Bb                                          Db
But if you want to hear Susanna then they'll pick all night
            C
They'll pick all night

Outro:
C
It sure is hell living in a one horse town
Bm                                      E
There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground
Am                                D
Nothing much doing of an afternoon
F#                                        F                   E D C
Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune
