Wade Bowen - God Bless This Town

      
 
 Intro: E
 
 E                                         
 You just thought you knew about rumors man
 E                                 
 But you aint ever lived in my town
 E             
 Population 153
 E                       
 And its still goin' down
 A                                               
 What's his name's still runnin' around with Mary
                                               E    
 Hell last I heard he'd already been married 3 times
 
 E                                           
 You've been gone for what, about 8 years now
 E                                           
 And they're still spreading rumors about you
 E                                 
 You grew your hair long and shaggy
 E                                   
 And gettin' drunk is all that you do
 A                                   
 They forgot that you play your music
                                         E 
 Yeah they gave up on you a long time ago
 
 Chorus
     D              
 God bless this town
      A                  E   
 It's so good to be back home
       D                 
 Yeah, how you been doin'
         A                  E  
 Lord, I know it's been so long
           D           
 Tell your family hello
     A                 E     
 I'm sure I'll see you around
                      F#m                A 
 Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up
                E   
 God bless this town
 
 E                                   
 Small towns are supposed to be small
 E                              
 Until being big gets in the way
 E                                
 A man doesn't play by their rules
 E                            
 Then he's not welcome to stay
     A                                            
 And politics don't care about 21 years of service
                                         E 
 Being a puppet is something he'll never be
 
 Repeat chorus
 
 Bridge
      C#m             C   
 Keep talking all you want
                A            E 
 I guess that's all you ever do
 F#m                    
 Soon I'll find my place
          A                     
 And I'll wave as I pass through
 
 Repeat chorus

 E                                        
 Yeah you just thought you knew rumors man
 E                                   
 But you ain't never lived in my town
