(Capo on 3)

Well, I've (D)been around since be-(G)fore the trains came through I've (D)seen a lot
The first time (A)my heart broke in two was
(Bm)When they brought those (A)Johnson brothers (G)back
(D/F#) To their (Em)mama (D/F#) with a (G)flag

I'm a (D)small town, there's (G)hundreds just like me
Yeah, but (D)I'm the one where (A)you happen to be
And (Bm)you learned how to (A)ride your first bike (G)up and down my (D/F#)street 
Where you grew (Em)up and couldn't (D/F#)wait to just get (G) out

(Chorus)
I'm a (D)small town where (G)everyone knows (D)everyone
There (G)ain't no secrets around (A) here
Son, either you (G)love me, or you (A)hate me for (D)every-(C)thing I (G)am
Either I (D)hold your heart or I (A)hold ya down

I'm a (D)small town, just a (G)dot there on the map
(D)If you blink you'll miss me, yeah, (A)go ahead and laugh
But I'm (Bm)where you kissed your (A)first someone, I'm (G)where you hit your (D/F#)last homerun
I'm (Em)where you laid your (D/F#)Grandpa in the (G)ground

(Chorus)
I'm a (D)small town where (G)everyone knows (D)everyone
There (G)ain't no secrets around (A) here
Son, either you (G)love me, or you (A)hate me for (D)every-(C)thing I (G)am
Either I (D)hold your heart or I (A)hold ya down

I'm a (D)small town, you left (G)in a cloud of dust
Big (D)city bound, but I (A)never once gave up
And when you (Bm)looked into that (A)newborn angel's (G)eyes and it occurred (D/F#)
There was (Em)only one place (D/F#)good enough for her (G)

(Chorus)
Where (G)everyone knows (D)everyone
There (G)ain't no secrets around (A) here
Son, either you (G)love me, or you (A)hate me for (D)every-(C)thing I (G)am
Either I (D)hold your heart or I (A)hold ya down
