Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This here is the hometown blues
with apologies to Thomas Wolfe and Doc Watson,

[Interlude 1]
1, 2, 1.
[D][G][D][A]
[D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]I wish I'd never come back home

[Interlude 2]
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I can't find any of
[G]my old[C] friends
hangin' around
Want [G]nothin' bringin' down
[D]lik[Dm]e your hom[G]etown
I spent some time in New Orleans
I had to live on rice and [D]beans[A][D]
[G]I hitched to Texas
when the [C]sun was beatin' down
Won't [G]nothing bring me [D]down
[Gm]like [D]your hometown
[G]Hom[C]e is where the heart is,
ain't that [G]what [Gm]they always say
[G]My [A]heart lies in broken pieces
[D]scattered along the way
[G]So don't think about me
when I'm [Gm]gone[G]
I don't mind traveling [D]alone[A][D]
[Gm]You [G]are the sweetest little thing
[C]that I ever found
I want [G]nothing to bring [D]you down
like your homet[G]own
All right, Wilson, [D]yeah[A][D]
[G][C][G][D][G][C]
[G]
Yeah, [C]home is where the heart is,
ain't that what [G]I always say?
My [A]heart lies in broken pieces
[D]scattered along the way
So [G]don't think about me when I'm gone
I don't mind traveling [D]alone[A][D]
[G]Yeah, you are the sweetest little thing
[C]that I ever found
She'll on nothin' [G]bringin' down
[D]like you[G]r hometown
She'll go on nothin' bringin' down
[D]like your hometown
[G]
