                             Small Town - John Cougar Mellencamp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:  Yes, this is transposed from another set of chords on this site. If you
don't much feel like retuning your guitar to open G (which the author of the other
tab neglected to mention), these are the chords for you.  Otherwise, go look at
the other one!

INTRO: B F# E F#    B F# E F#    B F# E F#    B F# E F#

(Repeat B F# E F# 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
C#m                F#

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
  B                           

  I cannot forget the people who love me
  B                              F#

  Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
  B                               

  And people let me be just what I want to be
  B                                F#


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                  ----4-----------|
But my bed is in a small town               ------7---------|
Oh, and that's good enough for me           --------4-------| )

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
