Small Town  (from the album "Scare Crow") 
---------- 
CAPO ON 4TH FRET! 
 
INTRO: G5 D5 C5  G5 D5 C5  G5 D5 C5  G5 D5 C5 
 
(Repeat G5 D5 C5  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 
A5                 D5 
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 
  G5                           C5 
  I cannot forget the people who love me 
  G5                              D5 
  Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town 
  G5                               C5 
  And people let me be just what I want to be 
  G5                                D5 
 
 
 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
