Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
In the little town I grew up in,
C 
in the middle was a little town square.
You could sit on the benches
G 
in the afternoon,
D 
all the kids used to hang out there.
G 
They all made fun of this
one boy's looks,
C 
how he talked and how he wore his hair.
They acted like they were
G 
all men of the world,
C 
D 
G 
and he was just a little town square.
C 
G 
Little town square, little town square.
C 
He thought that's what they called him
D 
G 
cause he's always there,
C 
planting trees in the square
G 
in the center of town.
F 
And wonderin' why the other
D 
G 
F 
G 
F 
G 
kids run him down.
He never got invited to parties,
In fact, he never went anywhere.
C 
He just worked fixing benches
G 
and planting little trees
D 
G 
D 
What was good for the little town square
G 
As the years went on
the other kids moved along
C 
And grew up their separate ways
But the little town square
G 
was always right there
C 
D 
G 
In the place where he got his name
C 
G 
Little town square, little town square
C 
Now they've all moved away
D 
but he still works there
G 
C 
Planting trees in the square
G 
in the center of town
F 
Wondering why the other folks
D 
G 
Eb 
are running down
Ab 
Many years later
when his trees were grown
There was a car crash on the square
Db 
There were five people
Ab 
trapped in a smokin' firebomb
Eb 
With gasoline leakin' everywhere
Ab 
With his own set of tools,
he rescued five drunken fools
When a blast sent him
Db 
flyin' through the air
And son of a gun,
Ab 
it was the very same ones
Db 
Eb 
Ab 
That labeled him the Little Town Square
Db 
Little Town Square,
Ab 
Little Town Square
Db 
There's a monument sittin'
Eb 
Ab 
in the trees over there
Db 
Dedicated to a hero
Eb 
Ab 
from a town that cares
Db 
Ab 
Now he's a long, long way
Ab 
Db 
From bein' the Little Town Square
You
