My Home Town chords by The Wannadies

Album: The Wannadies (1990)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E

Obscure band, obscure song, obscure little town... But anyone who's grown up
in Skelleftea, Sweden, will recognize this as a classic, and a local anthem!
Note that for the chords D/F# and B7/D#, the second note is only the root note,
played by a bassist on the recording. They're entirely optional on guitar.
Oh, and the chord progressions for the verse and chorus never change throughout the song!

Intro:
Em D/F# G Am (x2)
Em D/F# G Am B7 B7/Eb Em C

[Verse]
Em D/F#    G    Am
...This is "my home town song"
Em  D/F#   G     Am
...A "how it's like at home song"
Em D/F#   G   Am  B7
...Spending hours all alone
B7/Eb  Em   C
Waiting by the phone

Em  D/F#      G   Am
It's hard to say come closer
Em  D/F#    G   Am
When you're so far away
Em  D/F#      G   Am
And sometimes it's hard to remember that
B7  B7/Eb     Em    C
...Tomorrow's as close as yesterday

[Chorus]
Am   G
This is my home town
C   G  D
This is my home town
Am   G
This is my home town
C     G
This is...
D    Em  [Same chord progression as the intro]
My hometooown...

[Verse]
I'm dossing up and down these streets,
Where nothing ever seems to change
Where wet green grass meets dust and dirt
That's where love no longer hurts

I've never been a loner,
At least I've never wanted to be one
So whatever you do, remember one thing:
My home is where my heart is and...

[Chorus]
This is my home town...

[Repeat the intro chord progression again]

[Verse one reprise; BASS NOTES ONLY, NOT CHORDS]
E  F#     G     A
...This is "my home town song"
E   F#    G     A
...A "how it's like at home song"
E  F#    G  A  B
...Spending hours all alone
Eb   E    C
Waiting by the phone

It's hard to say "come closer"
E   F#    G   A
When you're so far away

Whatever you do, remember one thing:
  Eb       E    C
My home is where my heart is and...

[Chorus]
This is my home town...
