A A E Gbm This old town should've burned down in 1929 E Gbm That's when we stood in line D E Waiting for our soup D E Swallowing our pride A E Gbm This old town should've burned down in 1931 E Gbm When the rain refused to come D E Air filled up our bellies D E Dust filled up our lungs Bm A D E And we thought our time had come
Chorus
D E A This old town was built by hand D E A E Gbm In the dust bowl of the Mother land Dbm D There must be rock beneath this sand Bm Oh, I'll be damned E A This town still stands
Verse
A E Gbm This old town should've burned down in 1944 E Gbm When the last men went to war D E They came back different D E If they came back at all A E Gbm This old town should've burned down in 1956 E Gbm That's when the twister hit D E And all our hopes were buried D E Beneath the boards and bricks Bm A D E And we almost called it quits
Chorus
D E A This old town was built by hand D E A E Gbm In the dust bowl of the Mother land Dbm D There must be rock beneath this sand Bm Oh, I'll be damned E A This town still stands
Bridge
Gbm Somewhere in the distance Dbm D The city lights do shine D A The sidewalks gleam with neon dreams A E That call from time to time Gbm When my children's children Dbm Ask me why I didn't go D E They say the heart of any town D E Is the people that you've known Bm A D E They'll always call you home
Chorus
D E A This old town was built by hand D E A E Gbm In the dust bowl of the Mother land Dbm D There must be rock beneath this sand Bm Oh, I'll be damned E A This town still stands
