Verse 1
(Gsus2) (G major) (Gsus2) (G major) This old town should
have burned down in (Dsus4) 1929
(Csus2) That's (Dsus4) when we stood in line (Csus2)
Wait (A minor) ing for our soup
(G major) while swallowing (Csus2) our pride (Dsus4)
This (Gsus2) old town should (G major) have
burned down in 1931 (Dsus4)
(Csus2) when the (Dsus4) rain refused to come. (Csus2)
Air (C major) filled (A minor) up our bellies, (G major)
dust (Csus2) filled up (C major) our (Csus2) lungs,
(Dsus4) and we (A minor) thought our time (G major)
had come. (Csus2) (Dsus4)
But this old (Csus2) town (C major) was (Csus2) (Dsus4) built by hand (G major) in the (Csus2) dust
(Dsus4) (G major) (Dsus4) (G major) (E minor) (D major) (Dsus4) (Csus2)
(A minor) (C major) (Dsus4) (G major)
This old town should have
burned down in (Dsus4) 1944
When (Csus2) the (Dsus4) last man
went (G major) to war (Csus2)
they (A minor) came back differ (G major) ent if
they (Csus2) came back at all (Dsus4)
this (G major) old town should have burned
down in 1956 (Csus2)
that's (Dsus4) when the twister hit (Csus2)
and (A minor) all our hopes lay bur (G major) ied beneath
(Csus2) the boards and brick (Dsus4) s
And we (A minor) almost called (G major) it quits (Csus2)
This (Dsus4) old (Csus2) town (C major) was
(Csus2) (Dsus4) built by hand (G major)
In the dust (C major) (Csus2) bowl of (Dsus4)
the mother (G major) land (Dsus4) (G major)
(E minor) There must be (D major) rock (Dsus4) be
neath (Csus2) the sand
I'll (A minor) be damned
This (C major) town (Csus2) (C major) (Dsus4) still stands (G major)
Somewhere (E minor) in the distance
The (G major) city (B minor) lights do shine
Side (C major) walks gleam
(G major) Neon dreams that call
(A minor) From time to (Dsus4) time
When (E minor) my children's children
Ask why (B minor) I didn't go (C major)
I (Csus2) (C major) see the (A minor) heart of any town
(G major) Is the (Csus2) people that (C major) you've
(Csus2) known (Dsus4)
And they (A minor) always call (G major) you home (Csus2)
(Dsus4) This old (G major) (C major) town was built (Dsus4) by hand (G major)
In the dust (C major) bowl (Csus2) (Dsus4) of
the mother (G major) land (Dsus4)
An (G major) d (E minor) there is rock (D major)
beneath (Csus2) the sand,
(C major) I'll (A minor) be damned,
(G major) (Csus2) if this town (Dsus4) still stand (G major) s.
