Little Hometown
(written by: Wayne Mills)
G Em C7 G
The sun was comin’ up I couldn’t settle down
G Em C7 G
I took my time and just drove around
Am G
I hit all back roads in my hometown
G Em C7 G
I got a little happy, I got a little sad
G Em C7 G
I couldn’t decide if it was good or bad
Am D
My little hometown had begun to grow
(Chorus)
C D
Our trails are gone but they found their place
Em G
I think there showin' in my face with
Am D
With each new line I find around my eyes
C D
They can cut the trees, cut the bush
Em G
But we can always say that it was us
F D G Em C7 G
We were the ones who broke the ground in our little hometown
G Em C7 G
G Em C7 G
I drove by Charlie Griffins place
Em C7
His trailers gone but I have to say
Am G
That new brick house is very nice
G Em C7 G
There’s a big house out in the field
Em C7 G
Where I used to pick briars from my heels
Am D
And our old trails are runnin’ through their yard
(Chorus)
Em F C D
Em F
If you look real hard and listen close you can hear me laughin' and see my ghost
C D G (Em C7 G) 2x F D Runnin’ through the trails of my hometown/ my little hometown/ my little hometown
(Chorus)
(G Em C7) 4x end on C7
