[A] [D]
I [A] was eight years old and running with [D] a [A] diamond mind
[E]
Bus stop to pick up a paper [A] from my old [D]
[A] set on his lap
That big old Buick [D] would steer as we [A] drove [C#m] through [E] town
Tied up to my hair, say, son, take [A] a good look [D] around
[A] This is your hometown, [D] this is your [A] [E]
hometown
This is your hometown, [A] this is your [D]
hometown
In [A]
sixty-five, the train was running high [D] at my [A]
[E] school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
[A] There was nothing you [D] could do
[A] Two cars hit a light on a Saturday night
[D] In the backseat there [A]
[E] was a gun
Words were passed, a shotgun blast, [A] troubled times [D] had come
This is [A] my hometown, this is [D] my [A]
[C#m] hometown
[E] This is my hometown, [A] this is my
[D] hometown
[A]
[F#m] Down Main Street's a whitewashed window and [A] vacant store
[F#m] Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come [A] down here no more
[D] They're closing down, the textile mill, [A] across the railroad tracks
One [D] of them says these jobs are going boys [A] and they ain't coming [E] back
[A] This is your hometown, [D] this is [A] your [E] hometown
This is your hometown, this [A] is your [D] hometown
[A]
Last night in K, we laid in bed, [D] talking about [A] getting [E] out
Packing up our bags, [A] maybe heading [D] south
[A] In thirty-five, you got up off [D] the line
[A]
[E] Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
[A] Said, son, take a good [D] look around
This is [A] your hometown
