Charlie Robinson: My Hometown

Mandolin/Drum intro

G+G                   C majorC
Well I had a buddy back in 81
       G+G
And we made ourselves a pact
G+G                   C majorC
We were headin for the new pipeline
       D MajorD
And we were never coming back
   G+G                 C majorC
We worked 80 hours making time and a half
      G+G
But La Grange was too damn hot
G+G                            C majorC
So we drove back home home at the end of that week
    D MajorD            G+G
And we spent it all on pot
G+G                   C majorC
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
           G+G        D MajorD
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay
             G+G              C majorC
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down
           G+G         D MajorD      G+G    C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
I'll see you around round my hometown
G+G             C majorC
Well I played ball every single fall
       G+G
I could run just like the wind
G+G                  C majorC
I went to college like they asked me too
     D MajorD
But they didn't ask my friends
G+G                C majorC
Don't think I've seen a single classroom
   G+G
But I drank a lot of beer
G+G                 C majorC
My buddies still love to listen to me
      D MajorD           G+G
When I talk about that year
             G+G                C majorC
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
            G+G      D MajorD
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay
             G+G             C majorC
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down
         G+G      D MajorD         G+G    C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
I'll see you around round my hometown

SOLO

G+G               C majorC        G+G
Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess
G+G                  C majorC
But I never learned how to wear my hair
   D MajorD
And I never learned how to dress
G+G               C majorC
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey
G+G
I'm never more to roam
G+G                   C majorC
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
      D MajorD        G+G
Gonna head my ass back home
              G+G         C majorC
So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way
           G+G        D MajorD
I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay
              G+G              C majorC
If you're ever out west son and you're feelin' like slowin' down
         G+G          D MajorD    G+G C majorC
I'll see you around round my hometown
          G+G      D MajorD        G+G
I'll see you around round my hometown

G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  G+G C majorC G+G
