The Wannadies - My Home Town
Album: The Wannadies (1990)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E

Obscure band, obscure song, obscure little town... But anyone who's grown up
in Skelleftea, Sweden, will recognize this as a classic, and a local anthem!
Note that for the chords D/F# and B7/D#, the second note is only the root note,
played by a bassist on the recording. They're entirely optional on guitar. 
Oh, and the chord progressions for the verse and chorus never change throughout the song!

D       Em    [Same chord progression as the intro]
My hometooown...

[Verse]
I'm dossing up and down these streets,
Where nothing ever seems to change
Where wet green grass meets dust and dirt
That's where love no longer hurts

I've never been a loner,
At least I've never wanted to be one
So whatever you do, remember one thing:
My home is where my heart is and...

[Chorus]
This is my home town...

[Repeat the intro chord progression again]
