Bridge:
   D MajorD
I’ve seen the sunrise in my mama’s eyes
       Cadd9Cadd9         G/BG/B
I heard them babies cry, heard them babies cry
   D MajorD            Cadd9Cadd9    G/BG/B
When Daddy died, I heard them babies cry
   D MajorD
We’ll sell the diamond rings, all the pretty things
    Cadd9Cadd9        G/BG/B
All the precious things, for pocket change
  D MajorD          Cadd9Cadd9    G/BG/B
We gotta leave, so sell everything

Verse 1:
     D MajorD
There’s a foul wind blowing in from town
Cadd9Cadd9               G/BG/B
Diesels and dozers on holy ground, making room for strip malls
         D MajorD
Where they buried Paw Paw
    D MajorD
And the black top sheet is drying out the creek
   Cadd9Cadd9
They poisoned the land below my feet
  G/BG/B                        D MajorD
And power lines statics to made another addict build a meth lab
   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B     D MajorD
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B     D MajorD
Yeah things sure did change...

Verse 2:
        D MajorD
Well there’s a methadone line a half a mile long
     Cadd9Cadd9
Pass the high school that failed us all
    G/BG/B                         D MajorD
And the gang sign on the brick wall says you’re going to get beat down
D MajorD
Well that don’t work with me, son
    Cadd9Cadd9
I got a will to survive and plenty of guns
    G/BG/B                   D MajorD
But I’m gonna walk away this time and find some middle ground

   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B     D MajorD
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B
Yeah things sure did change

Verse 3:
     D MajorD
There’s a foul wind blowing in from town
Cadd9Cadd9               G/BG/B
Diesels and dozers on holy ground, making room for strip malls
         D MajorD
Where they buried Paw Paw
    D MajorD
And the black top sheet is drying out the creek
   Cadd9Cadd9
They poisoned the land below my feet
  G/BG/B                        D MajorD
And power lines statics to made another addict build a meth lab
   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B     D MajorD
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
   Cadd9Cadd9      G/BG/B     D MajorD
Yeah things sure did change in my hometown
