God Bless This Town(Cavaco chords)

	        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 
    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 

Tag: (spoken) 

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