[A]
[D] [A] [E]
[A] I [D]
[A] was eight years old and running with [D] a dime [A] in [C#m] my [E] hand
To the bus stop to pick up a paper [A] from my [D] old man
[A] He sat on his lap in that big old Buick
[D] To steer [A] as we drove through [C#m] [E] town
Tasseled my hair, say something, [A] good to look [D] around
[A] This is your hometown, [D] this is your [A] [E] hometown
This is your hometown, this [A] is your [D] hometown
In [A]
sixty-five, tension was running high [D] at my [A] [E]
school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There [A] was nothing you [D] could do
[A] Cars hit a light on a Saturday night
In [D] the backseat [A] there was [C#m] a [E] gun
Words were passed, shotgun [A] blasts, troubled times [D] had come
[A] My hometown, [D] my [A] [E] hometown
My hometown,
[A] my [D] hometown
Now [A]
[F#m] Main Street's a whitewashed window and [A] vacant store
[F#m] Seems like there ain't nobody wants to [A] come down here no more
They're [D] closing down the textile mill, [A] cross the railroad tracks
[D] Woman says these jobs are going boys [A] and they ain't coming [E]
back
[A] Your hometown,
[D] your [A]
[E] hometown
Your hometown,
[A] your [D]
hometown
Last [A]
night in K we laid in bed [D] talking about [A] getting [E]
out
Packing up our bags, [A] maybe heading [D]
south
[A] Thirty-five, you gotta pour [D] a [A] vow [E] now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel, [A] said son take a good [D] look around
This is [A] your hometown
[D] [A] [E]
