[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[G]My [D]hometown,
[Em]she's big [C]and she'[Am]s brown
She [D]reaches to the [G]sky above
And [C]every way you [Am]look
she's all [D]around you
[G]My [D]backyard [Em]is dirty[C] and har[Am]d
It's [D]never seen a [G]flower grow
Yes, [C]I can testify t[Am]hat it's no g[D]arden
One of these [G]days
[Em]I'm gonna [C]pack my
[G]bags and [C]take a [G]train
To some big city
The [C]lights are [G]bright and
[C]I know a[G]ll the g[A]irls
are [D]pretty
[G]My home [Em]folk
were [C]raised in [Am]the smoke
Of [D]fiery factory chim[G]ney stacks
That [C]gave you work
But [Am]in return they c[D]hoked you
Choked [E]you[A]
[E]When I wake up,
I wake up in the mornin'
[A]We'll blow the day till
the sun goes [E]down
Gotta save up all the money I'm earnin'
[A]Gotta have enough to kiss this [E]town[A][E][A]
[E]Borrowed books from the public library,
[A]teaching myself about the world now [E]I'm
Pictures of sunny places invite me,
[A]goodbye town, goodbye
I'm taking a [D]ride[G][B][E][Esus4][E]
[Esus4]My mother[E] started crying[B]
[Baug]at the station[G]
[D]Asked me if I wouldn't
change my [C]mind
[G]Afraid the city lights [A]were
gonna blind [Bsus4]me
[B]The [E]whistle blows and
terminates [G]my journey
The [D]whole reality is right on [C]time
The [G]factory gates close once
again be[A]hind [Cm]me
[D]One of these [G]days
[Em]I'm gonna [C]pack my [G]bags and t[C]ake
[G]a train to some big city
Where the [C]lights are bright [G]and [C]I know a[G]ll t[A]he girls
are [D]pretty
