INTRO: D  Bm  G  A (x3)  D  G  D  A


   D         Bm            G     A
 I love this town, like an unmade bed
   D         Bm           G      A
 I love this town, of the living dead
   D         Bm          G       A
 I love this town, gonna paint it red
 D        G       D A
 If I can spare a minute

I love this town - where the curtains twitch
Where this door scratches - next door's itch
It's a pantomime - at fever pitch
And we can all be in it

KEY CHANGE to C:
BRIDGE 1:
 C     Em        F        G
 People here are large as life
      C        Em          F       G
 They know the whole world and his wife
        Am     Em        F       C
 From a razor's edge to a kitchen knife
 Dm                 E
 They'll be glad to help you

KEY CHANGE back to D:
I love this town - of hidden charms
Where no one means - you any harm
And if you sleep - through false alarms
No one here would blame you

I love this town - on the beaten track
Where nothing slips - between the cracks
Where rent's arrears - his heart attack
Now isn't that a shame, ooh!


KEY CHANGE to G:

KEY CHANGE back to C:
BRIDGE 2:
Everyone's friendly to your face
And everybody knows their place
As long as you respect their space 
You won't have to worry. 

BRIDGE 3:
    A         G        G/F#    F
The town hall clock is calling out
     A         G      G/F#   F 
It's rush hour on the roundabout
    A     G        G/F#  F 
And now I know without a doubt
F#m               Bsus4-B
It's the place for me


KEY CHANGE TO E:

  E         C#m       A     B
I love this town, the dirty streets
       E        C#m         A      B   
It's a merry-go-round… with broken seats
      E        C#m       A     B   
Where silk and lace… and satin sheets
E        A     E   B   
Are only dirty washing

I love this town - down on its knees
It's going under - by degrees
Still we can do - just as we please
As long as no one's watching.
