My home town by the shadows
chorded by ross

G          Em  
My home town
    C              Am
She big and she?s brown
  D                         G
She reaches to the sky above
      C                                        Am
An every where you look she?s all around you

G             Em
My back yard
C             Am
Is dirty an hard
D                          G
It never seen a flower grown
     C                    Am
Since I can testify its no garden

G          Em  
My home folk 
    C              Am
Were raised in the smoke
D                                                G
Of firy factory chimney stacks that gave you work
     C                    D
But in return they choked you, 
G
choked youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

G          Em  
When a wakeup
    C              Am
A wake up in the morning
D                                                G
Work all the day till the sun goes down
     C                    Am
Gota save up all the money am earning
     C                    Am
Gota have enough to kiss this town

Borrowing books from the public library
    C                                    Am
Teaching myself about the world outside
D                            G
Pictures of sunny places in fife
C                    Am
Be goodbye town

My mother started crying at the station

    C                                    Am
Asked me if I wouldn?t change my mind

D                                 G
Am afraid the city light were going blind







D                                           Am
The whistle blows and terminates my journey
G                        Am
Go reality is right on time
D                                      G
The factory gate closed behind meeeeee
