Small Town
By John Cougar Mellencamp


C C G G F F G G x4


C C G G F F G G
Well I was born in a smalltown
C C G G F F G G
and I live in a smalltown
C C G G Am Am
Pro'bly die in a smalltown
Dm Dm G G
Oh those small communities


C C G G F F G G
All my friends are so small town
C C G G F F G G
My parents live in the same small town
C C G G Am Am
My job is so small town
Dm Dm G G
Provides little opportunity


C C G G F F G G x2

C C G G F F G G
Educated in a small town
C C G G F F G G
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
C C G G Am Am
Used to daydream in that small town
Dm Dm G G
Another boring romantic that's me


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


BRIDGE:
F F C C F F C C
No I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
F F C C G G
I cannot forget the people who love me

And people let me be just what I wanna be

(Very lightly thru last 2 verses)
C C G G F F G G
Got nothing against a big town
C C G G F F G G
Still hayseed enough to say look who's in the big town
C C G G Am Am
But my bed is in a small town
Dm Dm G G
Oh, and that's good enough for me


C C G G F F G G
Well I was born in a small town
C C G G F F G G
And I can breathe in a small town
C C G G Am Am
Gonna die in this small town
Dm Dm G G
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me
