[A] [D]
I was [A] eight years old and running with [D] a dime [A] in my [E] hand.
Bus stop to pick up a paper [A] from my old [D] man.
He said on his bike, that big old Buick,
Steers [A] me drove through [E] town.
Tied up my hair, say something, [A] good luck [D] around.
This is [A] your hometown, [D] this is [A] your [E] hometown,
This is your hometown, this [A] is your [D] hometown.
[A]
Sixty-five, the trim was running high [D] at my [E] school.
There was a lot of fights between the black and white.
[A] There was nothing you [D] could do.
[A] Cars hit a light on a Saturday night.
[D] My backseat, there [E] was a gun.
Words were passed, shotgun blasts,
[A] Troubled times they [D] had come.
[A] My hometown, my [C#m] hometown, [E] my hometown,
[A] my [D]
hometown.
[A]
[F#m] Main street, whitewashed windows, [A] vacant store.
[F#m] Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come [A] down here no more.
[D] They're closing down, fixed-hill mills, [A] cross the railroad tracks.
Woman [D] says these jobs are going boys, [A] and they ain't coming [E] back.
[A] This is your hometown, [D] this is your [A]
hometown,
[E] This is your hometown, this is your [D]
hometown.
Last [A]
night in K, we laid in bed, talking about getting [E] out.
Packing up our bags, [A] maybe heading [D]
south.
[A] Thirty-five, we got up off [D] of [A] our own.
Last night I sat up behind the wheel, said, son, take a good [D] look around.
This [A] is your hometown.
