[E] [A] [E] It's about my mother and father.
[A] [E]

[A] [B]
[E] [B]
You met her at [E] the bank where you were paying your bills.
[C#m]
She was a nervous little girl [A] with golden [E]
curls.
You took her on a date somewhere [B] uptown.
[C#m]
When you dropped her off, [A] she said, I'll see you [E] around.
[A]
Ooh, it took a few years cutting the walls [E] down.
Because [A] nothing comes easy in a one church [E] town.
You settled out of town in a highway house.
You used the money that they gave her [A] when they bought [E] her out.
She went back to school to get a degree.
[F#] [E] You got a job welding pipe [A] for the [E] army.
And then a paper that your father signed years ago
[F#] [E]
turned a little man's dream [A] into a money [E] hole.
[B]
Well, if you [E] didn't know then, Daddy, now you know.
[F#] [E]
Some men don't mind making other men poor.
[A]
Ooh, we all learn so hard that life must [E] prevail.
Yeah, don't give [A] up now.
Nothing comes easy in a one [E] church town.
[A]
[C#m]
Ooh, [E]
ooh, [F#]
ooh, ooh, ooh, [E] ooh, ooh, ooh.
Two kids in the yard and another on the way.
She's sitting by [A] Mother's side begging [E] her to stay.
There was talk that you should have sued the chemical plant.
But there wasn't no [A] price that could bring [E] her back.
[F#]
[A] And to just keep living through the [E] good and the bad,
[C#m]
well, there ain't no dream [E] that was bigger than that.
[A] Ooh, we all learn so hard that life must [E] prevail.
Don't [A] give up now.
Nothing comes easy in a [E] one church town.
[A] Hey, don't give up now.
Nothing comes easy in a [E] one church town.
[A] Yeah, don't give up now.
Nothing comes easy in a one [E] church town.
[A] Yeah, don't [D] give up now.
Nothing comes easy in a one [E] church town.
