tabbed by cdnrebelguitar at ultimate-guitar.com
(Intro – 5 seconds of backwards notes)
Eb*/ / /Eb/ / /Cm / / /F / / /
1 +2+3+4+1+2+3+4+1 +2+3+4+1+2+3+4+
(Verse 1)
Eb* Eb
It’s not much, but it’s mine
It’s all I got and that suits me fine
Eb* Eb
Cuz I know I got friends
Who’ll stick by til the end, like
Eb* Eb
Burl(Earl?) and his finch(?)
Spends his life turning wrenches
Eb* Eb
Fixing cars, eating Mars bars
Time just moves so slow
(Chorus 1)
Here in my home town
You’re welcome to come on down
We’ll be at the corner store
Spilling popcorn on the floor
While we’re staring out the front screen door
In my hometown
(Verse 2)
Eb* Eb
I remember watching flix
In the front row of the Dixy Theatre
Eb* Eb
And then late at night
Cruising Main with the tunes a blasting
(Chorus 2)
Here in my home town
You’re welcome to come on down
We’ll be at the cor-ner store
Shooting the breeze checking the score
Of the game the night before
In my hometown
(Bridge – just acoustic guitar doing arpeggio stuff)
Dontcha know times they changed
Nothing remains the same
They’re shutting down my old school
Where I used to run and play
But they’ll never take away
My hometown
(Reprise – slight variation on first half of first chorus)
Eb* Eb
It’s not much, but it’s mine
It’s all I got and that suits me fine
Eb* Eb
Cuz I know I got friends
Who’ll stick by til the bitter end
(Chorus outro)
In my home town
Where dreamers are breaking ground
As small as the plans may be
They’re still big enough to see
My home town
You’re welcome to come on down
We’ll be at the corner store
Spilling popcorn on the floor
While we’re staring out the front screen door
In my hometown
(Outro)
Eb*/ / /Eb/ / /Cm / / /F / / / play twice
1 +2+3+4+1+2+3+4+1 +2+3+4+1+2+3+4+
