[Verse 1]
---------------------
D      A                                  D    A     E
 I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
                                         A  E   D
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
    A
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick
        D       A             E
And steer as we drove through town
                                         A    E     D
He'd tousle my hair and say "Son, take a good look around

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        A
This is your hometown."
        D    A   E
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
        A    E   D
This is your hometown

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A   A                                      D      A E
 In sixty five tension was running high at my high  school
There was a lot of fights 'tween the black and white
          A       E         D
There was nothing you could do
    A
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night
       D         A           E
In the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed, then a shotgun blast
         A     E   D       A
Troubled times had come to my hometown

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   D  A   E
To my hometown
To my hometown
   A  E   D
To my hometown

[Bridge]
---------------------
A    F#m                                   A
 Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
      F#m                                      A
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
        D                                    A
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
        D
Foreman says "These jobs are going, boys
    A                 E
And they ain't coming back

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
   A
To your hometown."
   D    A   E
To your hometown
To your hometown
   A    E   D
To your hometown

[Verse 3]
---------------------
A     A
 Last night me and Kate, we laid in bed
  D           A       E
Talking 'bout getting out
                          A  E    D
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
    A                           D   A   E
I'm thirtyfive, we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel, and said
A           E          D
"Son take a good look around

[Outro]
---------------------
        A              D A E A E D
This is your hometown."
