Chords with lyrics
Difficulty: Novice
Capo 3
Standard Tuning
G+G C majorC G+G
In my hometown, population just a few thousand
E minorEm C majorC G+G
All of them kids at the drive-in after Friday night's football game
G+G C majorC G+G
That's the same place where mom and dad went on their first date
E minorEm C majorC G+G
They had the same burger I just ate, man, some things never change
D MajorD G+G
That's what made me who I am today, gave me a milion songs to play
E minorEm A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And when the radio's on, I just don't understand
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Because tractors ain't sexy and working is hard
D MajorD E minorEm
For small town people like me
C majorC G+G
And the radio is full of the rich folks
D MajorD E minorEm
Singing about places they've never seen
A minorAm G+G
And I ain't saying that they're lives ain't hard
D MajorD A7A7
I'd love to hear about it sometime
C majorC D MajorD
But let them sing about their own life
G+G
And I'll sing about mine
I'm not complaining, runnin' my mouth like an old man
Talking about the world that's changing and how its given up on me
I'm just saying down at Nicks on the weekend
The small town anthems that they're singin', don't sound like the what you see
When you talk about the Dairy Queen, pick up trucks and Springstein
They make the place I love sound like a bad cartoon
Chorus
Bridge:
E minorEm
If you want a song about
A minorAm
A augmentedA place like my hometown
C majorC
Take a weekend and come on down
D MajorD
It won't a long to see
Chorus
