My Hometown

G  A  G  D


[Verse 1]
                   G   D
On back down in my hometown,
                       A
Everybody's feeling it bad,
D                 G        D
No new breaks, whatever it takes,
                            A
Not to have to sway it on a classified ad.


[Chorus]
G                A
Hey there Ma and Pa here I am,
D               A           Bm
Money's running out all the same,
       G                 A                 D
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again.


[Verse 2]
                G        D
Up real late in New York state,
                      A
Talking to my baby at night,
    D                    G             D
She keeps me warm and protects me from harm,
                                    A
Love just keeps on rolling when the money gets tight.


[Chorus]
G                A
Hey there Ma and Pa here I am,
D               A           Bm
Money's running out all the same,
       G                 A                 D
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again.


[Bridge]
Dm7                 C          G
Oh Mrs. Memory just take me on down,
Dm7                          C           G
Back to the shanties and the cars by the lake,
Dm7                 C          G
Oh Mrs. Memory just take me on back,
Dm7                 C        G
Back to my baby and make it okay,
                   Dm   D
Yeah just make it okay.


[Verse 3]
                G      D
On back down in my hometown,
                        A
Everybody's feeling the same,
D                   G           D
Good money spent on keeping the rent,
                     A
Sent in to the man under a week late.


[Outro]
G                A
Hey there Ma and Pa were I am,
D               A           Bm
Money's running out all the same,
       G                 A                 D
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again,
       G                 A                 D
I just close my eyes and bring it on home again.
