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! Intro: Em D/F# G Am (x2) Em (022000@1)D/F# (200232@1)G (320003@1)Am (x02210@1)B7 (x21202@1)B7/Eb Em (022000@1)C (x32010@1)[Verse] Em (022000@1)D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Am...This (x02210@1)is "my home town song" Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Am...A (x02210@1)"how it's like at home song" Em (022000@1)D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) B7...Spending (x21202@1)hours all alone B7/Eb Em (022000@1) CWaiting (x32010@1)by the phone Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) It's hard to say come closer Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) AmWhen (x02210@1)you're so far away Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) AmAnd (x02210@1)sometimes it's hard to remember that B7 (x21202@1) B7/Eb Em (022000@1) C...Tomorrow's (x32010@1)as close as yesterday [Chorus] Am (x02210@1) GThis (320003@1)is my home town C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) This is my home town Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1)This is my home town C (x32010@1) GThis (320003@1)is...
