CAPO ON 4TH FRET!
INTRO: G D2 C9 G D2 C9 G D2 C9 G D2 C9
(Repeat G D2 C9 throughout each line of the verse, except the last)
Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
[Am] [D2]
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
[G] [C9]
I cannot forget the people who love me
[G] [D2]
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
[G] [C9]
And people let me be just what I want to be
[G] [D2]
INTRO/SOLO
Got nothing against a big town (After each line of verse ending with
Still hayseed enough to say "town," guitarist plays:
Look who's in the big town ----0-----------| But my bed is in a small town ------3---------| Oh, and that's good enough for me --------0-------| )
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me
