[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]eight years old
And running with a [C]dime [G]in my [D]hand
To the bus stop to pick
Up a paper [G]for my old [C]man
I'd [G]sit on his lap in that big old Buick
And [C]steer as [G]we drove through [D]town
He'd tousle my hair
And say, "Son,
take a [G]good look [C]around"
This is your homet[G]own
This is [C]your [G]homet[D]own
This is your hometown
This is [G]your hometown"
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
In '65 tension was running high
At [C]my [G]hig[D]h school
There was a lot of fights
Between the black and white
There was [G]nothing you could [C]do
[G]Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
In the [C]back seat [G]there was a [D]gun
Words were passed
in a shotgun blast
Troubled [G]times [D]had [G]com[C]e
[G]To my hometown
[C]To my [G]homet[D]own
To my hometown
[G]To my hometown
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Now Main Street's
whitewashed windows
And [G]vacant stores
Seems [Em]like there ain't nobody
Wants to come [G]down here
no more
[C]They're closing down the textile mill
Across [G]the railroad tracks
Foreman [C]says,
"These jobs are going, boys
And [G]they ain't coming [D]back
[G]To your hometown
To [C]your [G]homet[D]own
To your hometown
[G]To your [D]hometown"
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talk[C]ing about [G]getting [D]out
Packing up our bags,
maybe [G]heading [C]south
[G]I'm thirty- five,
we got a boy of [C]our [G]own [D]now
Last night I sat him up
behind the wheel
And said, [G]"Son,
take a good look [C]around
This is [G]your hometown"
