  INTRO:  E/A A     E/A A     D  A  E  Esus E    Esus E    A    D

  

  I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand

        E/A   A 		  E/A A		 D    A     E

  

  Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man

           Esus E          Esus E	   	 A	D

  

  I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town

      E/A   A 		   E/A A 	     D           A             E

  

  He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around

       Esus E             Esus E	       A	  D

  

  This is your hometown, 		this is your hometown

          A		E/A A           D    A   E

  

  This is your hometown, 		this is your hometown

          Esus E          Esus E          A        D     E/A  A

  

  

  In `65 tension was running high at my high school

  There was a lot of fights between the black and white

  There was nothing you could do

  Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun

  Words were passed in a shotgun blast

  Troubled times had come to my hometown

  My hometown, my hometown, my hometown

  

  Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores

      F#m					  E/A A           E/A  A

  

  Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more

        F#m				    E/A  A		 E/A  A

  

  They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks

          D			       E/A       A	         E/A  A

  

  Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to

          D				   A		     E

  

  Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown

  

  Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out

  Packing up our bags maybe heading south

  I'm thirty-five we got a boy of our own now

  Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around

  This is your hometown
