Tablature hometown - Joe Jackson

          



 Home Town

  

  from Big World

  

  D  A       Bm     F#m      G          D       A

  Of all the stupid things I could have thought this was the worst

  D A       Bm   F#m        G     D       A

  I started to believe that I was born at seventeen

  D   A       Bm     F#m         G       D       A

  And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse

  D      A      Bm     F#m    G      D              A

  Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer, they'd always been

  D   A     Bm             F#m      G        D         A

  And now I plough through files of bills receipts and credit cards

  D   A       Bm      F#m   G                         A

  and tickets and the daily news and sometimes I just wanna go back to my

  

  Chorus

  D    F#m            G                       A

  Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same

             D    F#m               G

  Back to my home town, 'cause it's been so long,

          A                       F#m (???)

  and I'm wondering if it's still there.

  

  We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around

  And when the goping's rough we kill the pain and relocate

  We're never married, never faithful not to any town

  But we never leave the past behind it just accumulates

  So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound

  Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells

  

  Chorus
