	        Small Towns and Big Dreams- 
Written and recorded by Paul Brandt 
 
*Note- If you are a more advanced player there is a more difficult way to  
play the chorus in this song with the bass note progression, I?ve written it  
out below the basic version. 
 
Intro: F  C  Bb  C  (x2) 
F		C 
I grew up in a small town 
Bb                     C             F 
A wheat fields for a downtown kinda place 
F                     C 
There was really not much around 
Bb                      C 
You blink and you miss it 
F                  C 
I never knew what life would bring 
      Bb          C 
But I always had big dreams 
F                     C 
I loved to play my guitar and sing 
          Bb               C 
And every night I?d wish that 
Dm                     C 
I?d get a shot on the Opry stage 
Bb                       C 
And have people come and see me play 
Dm               C 
Blasting on the radio waves 
          Bb             C 
Enough to make my momma cry 
 
Chorus: 
                      F 
Cause that?s where I come from 
Bb           C 
That?s who I am 
                 F 
Hard workin and God blessed 
Bb                     C 
Yes sir and thank you ma?am 
Dm                          C            Bb 
The best things around that I have ever seen 
           Gm              C    F 
Came from small towns and big dreams 
 
F                         C 
That small town went and grew up 
Bb            C 
But I never changed much by God?s grace 
F                   C 
Friends and family kept in touch 
       Bb            C 
When I moved to Tennessee 
Dm              C 
Sing my songs, travel round 
Bb                      C 
I met a girl and we?re settling down 
Dm               C 
We wanna find a small town 
Bb                       C 
Where we can raise a family 
 
CHORUS 
 
Bb 
I been around the world 
 
Don?t matter anywhere I go 
C 
Even here in Fort McMurray 
 
I found my kinda folks 
       Gm           F 
It?s about you and who you are 
     Bb 
It?s all a state of mind 
            Gm             F 
And as I?m giving you my heart 
            C 
I hope you find

                      F   Gm  A 
Cause that?s where I come from 
       Bb     C 
That?s who I am 
                 F   Gm 
Hard workin and God blessed 
A            Bb        C 
Yes sir and thank you ma?am 
Dm                          C            Bb 
The best things around that I have ever seen

Came from small towns and big dreams
