Hate Lives In A Small Town chords by Voltaire

Chords with lyrics

I hadn't yet seen chords for one of Voltaire's country songs so I tried to figure out the chords
to "Hate Lives
in a Small Town", my favourite Voltaire country song. This is just how I play it. It may not
be 100% right for
everyone but here is my way to play Hate Lives in a Small Town.
Thanks :)

Intro - D MajorD

D MajorD                  D MajorD
If you're headin' down the highway, down about route ten
                 D7D7
Get off on the last exit and take it around the bend
       G+G
You'll find a small town
           D MajorD
But don't go hangin' around
   A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G+G             D MajorD
 'Least that's what I have found

D MajorD               D MajorD
The moms are in the kitchens, and they're baking pies
                     D7D7
They smell so good, they're made to cover up the smell of lies
       G+G
They're in a small town
            D MajorD
But pies don't cure all ills
  A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
And hate lives in a small town
G+G              D MajorD
 That's why those moms take pills

    G+G
Well, I went to the big city
             D MajorD
And everyone was wearing black
    G+G
If they saw that in my home town
A7A7            D MajorD
 They wouldn't stand for that
   G+G
I saw kids all covered in tattoos
            D MajorD
With Mohawks and purple hair
A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
But what really struck me
G+G           D MajorD
 Was no one seemed to care

D MajorD                 D MajorD
The Knights they beat the Badgers when they played down in a square
                     D7D7
But they saved the biggest beating for a kid with longish hair
       G+G
They're in a small town
          D MajorD
That kid was me one year
   A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G+G          D MajorD
 More so if you seem queer

D MajorD             D MajorD
The pastors in the pulpit, preachin' righteous lies
                     D7D7
And the congregation, they don't know he slept with all their wives
          G+G
They're in a small town
            D MajorD
And it's clear clear to see
   A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
That hate lives in a small town
G+G       D MajorD
 As does adultery

    G+G
Well, I went to the big city
           D MajorD
With my clothes in a pack
    G+G
When I got off at the station
A7A7           D MajorD
 There was no turning back
   G+G
I met freaks and creeps and weirdos
           D MajorD
Loose women and some geeks
         A7A7           A7A7 (strike once)
And they were the nicest gosh darn people
G+G         D MajorD
 I'd ever hope to meet

     D MajorD
When you roll into a small town, they're nice as they can be
                       D7D7
But at night they put on sheets and hang your sad ass from a tree
       G+G
They're in a small town
          D MajorD
Don't dare be different
   A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
'Cos hate lives in a small town
G+G            D MajorD
 Unless you're just like them

D MajorD
So if you're livin' in a small town and you feel you're in a vice
                 D7D7
Buy yourself a ticket, kid, hell, just take my advice
       G+G
And leave the small town
          D MajorD
Be quick as you can be
A7A7            A7A7 (strike once)
Get out of that small town
G+G            D MajorD
 And you'll be free like me
