[Verse 1]

G                                                              C      G         D
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
D                                                            G    D      C
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
G                                                               C               G                     D
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
D                                                                   G       D       C
He'd tousle my hair and he'd say son take a good look around

[Refrain]

G                                     C     G        D
This is your hometown, your home town
D                                    G      D       C       G
This is your hometown, your home town, this is your home town

[Verse 2]

G                                                    C   G      D
In 65 tension was running high at my high school
D                                                                                                      G      D  C
There was a lot of fights between the black and white / there was nothing you could do
G                                                                     C              G       D
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat was a gun
D                                                                      G           D  C
Words were passed a shotgun blast / troubled times had come

[Refrain]

      G                      C    G      D
To my hometown, my home town,
       D               G    D       C        G
My hometown, my home town, my hometown

[Bridge]

Em                                                                      G
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Em                                                                          G
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
Em                                                                     G
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
C                                                                  G             C          D
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to

[Refrain]

G                           C     G      D
Your hometown, your home town,
         D                G      D       C         G
your hometown, your home town, your hometown

[Verse 3]

G                                                         C                    G           D
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
D                                G          D         C
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
G                                              C     G    D
I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
D                                                                                            G        D   C
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around

[Refrain]

             G                      C       G          D
This is your hometown, your home town,
           D              G        D     C       G
your hometown, your home town, your hometown
