Tom: G5

G5               D5 
Just off of the beaten path
C5                  D5 
A little dot on a state road map
C5                  D5                 G5
That's where I was born & where I'll die
G5                 D5 
Things move at a slower pace
C5             D5 
Nobody's in a rat race
  C5                       D5             G5
And these days that's a special way to fly

Chorus:
C5    G5                                    C5                D5  
Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family
C5    G5                               C5                 D5 
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
C5     E5                                    C5                 A5         
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G5                  C5   D5    G5
Those of us raised up Down Home


G5                    D5
In the corner of a hardware store
C5                  D5 
Gathered round a checker board
C5               D5                G5
Old men telling lies & crowning kings
G5                     D5  
Kids drivin round the old town square
C5                       D5
Tops rolled down in the cool night air
C5                 D5                   G5
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen

**Chorus


C5             D5              G5                  C5                  
When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
    D5            C5               D5
But now I wanna see my children raised


C5    G5          C5      D5
Down Home 
C5    G5          C5      D5 
Down Home 
C5     E5                                    C5                 A5
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G5                  C5   D5    G5                     
Those of us raised up Down Home
                                 C5              D5
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
C5     G5                          C5                     D5     
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
C5     E5                                   C5                  A5 
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G5                  C5   D5    G5  
Those of us raised up Down Home
C5    G5       C5   D5
