[D] [A] I was eight years old running with [D] a dime [E] into the bus stop
to pay a bill of favor [A] for my old [D] man.
[A] I'd sit on his lap in that big old building,
[D] the stearest troth [E] in town.
He'd toss me my hair and say, son,
take [A] a good look around.
[D] This is your [A] hometown.
It's your [E] hometown.
It's your hometown.
[A] It's your hometown.
[D]
At sixty-five, tension was running high
at my high [E] school.
There was a lot of fight between the black and white.
[A] There was nothing [B] you [D] could do.
[A] Cars had a light on a Saturday night.
[D] In the back seat, [A] there [E] was a gun.
Words were fixed in a shotgun blast.
[A] Trouble time said, [D] come on, [A] my hometown.
[D] To my
[E] hometown. My hometown.
[A] To my [D] [A]
[F#m] hometown.
Main street's whitewashed windows and [A] vacant stores.
[F#m] Seems like there ain't nobody.
Won't sit [A] down here no more.
[D] They're closing down the textile mill,
[A] cross the railroad tracks.
[D] Foreman says these jobs are going, boys.
[A] They ain't coming [E] back.
[A] To your hometown.
[D] To your [E] hometown.
To your hometown.
To [A] your [D] hometown.
[A]
Last night, me and Kate, we laid in bed,
[D] talking about getting [E] out, packing up our bags
and maybe [A] heading [D] south.
[A] On thirty-five, we got a boy of our [E] own.
Bless not a sad look behind the wheel and said,
son, take a good look [D] around.
[A] This is your hometown.
[D] It's your [E] hometown.
It's your hometown.
[A] [D]
[A] It's your hometown.
