Hometown (CHORDS) by Elliott Murphy
[Intro]~
D F#m Bm D F#m Bm
[Verse]~
D F#m Bm
I saw your mother downtown yesterday
D F#m Bm
She didn't know me and her hair was gray
D F#m Bm
She told me all her kids had run away
D F#m Bm
They called at Christmas time but really what's left to say
[Chorus]~
G Bm Em
And now the neighbors they don't talk no more
G Bm Em A G
And late at night she listens to the wind under the door
G F#m Em
And the cracks in the floor
[Interlude]~
D F#m Bm D F#m Bm
[Verse]~
D F#m Bm
Oh guess who I ran into in the waiting room
D F#m Bm
You know they use to say that kid was born with a silver spoon
D F#m Bm
He told me that he left his home much too soon
D F#m Bm
Cause no one ever told him about the power of a real full moon
[Chorus]~
G Bm Em
And than he stopped and just closed his eyes
G Bm Em A G F#m Em
And whispered please could someone help him get outside
[Bridge]~
Bm F#m
And don't tell me you don't hear that hometown calling you
Bm
Cause you know what baby your still doing all the same things
F#m
You use to do
G Em
Wo wo darling you never use to wait till tomorrow
A G F#m Em
And now you can't wait at all

[Verse]~
D F#m Bm
Hey what's the news in the fashion world
D F#m Bm
Is it long or short is it straight or curled
D F#m Bm
Does it pull all my last years in a different world
D F#m Bm
Does it tell your mother how long ago she was a girl
[Chorus]~
G Bm Em
And even churchmen are wearing stripes
G Bm Em A G
And all the hometown girls are getting in much too late tonight
G F#m Em
I guess they gave up the fight
[Outro]~
