Small Town
John Mellencamp

CAPO 4th Fret

INTRO (3x):  G  D   Dsus  D  C9

(Repeat INTRO throughout each line of the verse, except the last)

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probably die in a small town
Am                     D   Dsus   D
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Am                       D   Dsus   D
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Am                             D   Dsus   D
Another boring romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Am                             D   Dsus   D
Now she's small town just like me

     C9     G               C9             G
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
     C9              G          D
I cannot forget the people who love me
        C9       G    C9           G 
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
    C9            G              D
And people let me be just what I want to be

SOLO
Em    Em   G   C9   G
Em    Em   G   D
Em    Em   G   C9   G   D    D    D
G     D    Dsus     D   C9
 
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say "Look who's in the big town."
But my bed is in a small town 
Am                             D   Dsus   D
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
Am                                    D   Dsus   D
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

REPEAT INTRO A FEW TIMES AND END
