E             
  In my little town

Em            Em7/A A  
   I grew up believ--ing

D              Bm       Am   
  God keeps His eye on us all

F               C           
  And He used to lean upon me

C+               E7             A   
   As I pledged allegiance to the wall

Bm         E
   Lord I recall

         A   
My little town


            A/Ab F#m   
Coming home after school

Am6          D9               
    Flying my bike past the gates

      G        E7 F 
Of the factories

B                 F      
  My mom doing the laundry

F+            A 
   Hanging our shirts

            D       
In the dirty breeze


             G
 And after it rains

          | 
There's a rainbow

                        D
And all of the colors are black

    Em                        D
It's not that the colors aren't there

             G D7M    E   
It's just imagin-ation they lack

                Em7
Everything's the same

    A             D   G D G 
Back   in my little town


D                       C#m7 
Nothing but the dead and dying 

                 Bm    
Back in my little town

D                       C#m7 
Nothing but the dead and dying 

                 Bm      
Back in my little town



A             F#m 
  In my little town

Am6              D9        
    I never meant nothin'

             G          E7 F 
I was just my fathers son

Bb          F    
   Saving my money

Bb            F    
   Dreaming of glory

Bb                 F    
   Twitching like a finger

      F+      A   D    
On the trigger of a gun

       D                       C#m7 
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying

                 Bm    
Back in my little town 


Repeat and fade:

D                       C#m7 
Nothing but the dead and dying

                 Bm    
Back in my little town
