Verse 1:
G+G
Little church on William Street
E minorEm
They head to tear it down
G+G
My brother calls once in a while
E minorEm
But he don't come around
G+G
I hear they changed my high school's name
E minorEm
Can't remember what it's called
D MajorD
I guess I'm a stranger in this place
G+G
It's not my hometown anymore
Chorus:
G+G
So I drink my whiskey straight
E minorEm
And I take my coffee black
D MajorD
When I ran away from home
G+G
I never thought I'd make it back
G+G
And my mother prayed for me
E minorEm
Each night before she went to sleep
D MajorD
I wish that she was here
G+G
So she could comfort me
Verse 2:
G+G
Things you wish would stay the same
E minorEm
It seems like they're the first to change
G+G
Fields we used to run and laugh in
E minorEm
Now they're someone's real estate
G+G
And everyone I used to know
E minorEm
Is like a ghost to me these days
D MajorD
And I don't think I have much else
G+G
That they could take away
Chorus:
G+G
So I drink my whiskey straight

And I take my coffee black
