Intro 1
(A major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (E major)
(E major) (E major) (A major) (C sharp minor) (D major)
Verse 1
I was (A major) eight years old
And running with
a (D major) dime (A major) in my (E major) hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper for (A major) my (E major) old (D major) man
I'd (A major) sit on his lap
in that big old Buick
And steer (D major) as we (A major) drove through (E major) town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "son, take a (A major) good (E major) look a (D major) round"

Verse 2
In (A major) '65 tension was running high
At (D major) my (A major) high (E major) school
There was a (E major) lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was (A major) nothing (E major) you could (D major) do
Two (A major) cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the (D major) back seat (A major) there was a (E major) gun
Words were passed
in a shotgun blast
Troubled (A major) times (E major) had (D major) come

To (A major) my hometown
To (D major) my (A major) home (E major) town
To my hometown
To (A major) my (E major) home (D major) town

Bridge 1
Now (F sharp minor) Main Street's whitewashed windows
And (A major) vacant stores
Seems (F sharp minor) like there ain't nobody
Wants to come down (A major) here no more
They're (D major) closing down the textile mill
A (A major) cross the railroad tracks
Foreman (D major) says, "these jobs are going, boys
And (A major) they ain't coming (E major) back
Chorus 3
To (A major) your hometown
To (D major) your (A major) home (E major) town
To your hometown
To (A major) your (E major) home (D major) town

Verse 3
Last (A major) night me and Kate
we laid in bed
Talk (D major) ing 'bout (A major) getting (E major) out
Packing up our bags, maybe (A major) hea (E major) ding (D major) south
I'm (A major) thirty-five, we got a boy of (D major) our (A major) own (E major) now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel
And said, (A major) "son, take a (E major) good look a (D major) round
Outro 1

(A major) (D major) (A major) (E major)
(E major) (E major) (A major) (E major) (D major)
