Small Town by John Mellencamp

    Small Town by John Mellencamp

    Capo 4th fret
    Well I was born in small town
    and I live in a small town
    Prob'ly die in a small town
    Oh those small communities
    
    All my friend are so small town
    My parents live in the same small town
    My job is so small town
    Provides little opportunity
    
    Educated in a small town
    Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
    Used to daydream in that small town
    another boring romantic thats me
    
    But I've seen it all in a small town
    Had myself a ball in a small town
    Married an an L.A doll and brought her to this small town
    now she's small town just like me
    
    Bridge
    No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
    I cannot forget the people who love me
    Yeah I can be myself here in this small town
    and people let me be just what I want to be
    
    Solo over verse chords
    
    Got nothing against the big town
    Still hayseed enough to say look whos in the big town
    but my bed is in a small town
    Oh and that's good enough for me
    
    Well I was born in a small town
    and I can breathe in a small town
    Gonna die in this small town
    and that's probably where they'll bury me
