In '65 tension was running high at my high school There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed in a shotgun blast Troubled times had come to my hometown My hometown, my hometown, my hometown Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores F# minorF#m E/A A augmentedA E/A A augmentedA Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more F# minorF#m E/A A augmentedA E/A A augmentedA They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks D MajorD E/A A augmentedA E/A A augmentedA Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around This is your hometown CHORD FORMATIONS: ----------------- E/A x 0 2 1 0 0 A augmentedA 0 0 2 2 2 0 EsusEsus 0 2 2 2 0 0 E MajorE 0 2 2 1 0 0 D MajorD x 0 0 2 3 2 F# minorF#m 2 4 4 2 2 2 (Bar on 2nd fret)
