Standard Tuning
G Em C
I grew up on the Indiana side of Chicago
Am C/G Em
With the rusty steel mills belching in the westward wind
G Em C
I watched Mom and Dad trying to clean their sorrow
Am C/G Em
With my brothers and me at old Lake Michigan
D
There's a little boy
Em
He's got big brown eyes
D
He's got swimming trunks
A
‘bout twice his size
D
Looking at a steel mill sunset
Em
Skipping a stone,
C C/E Am G D
"hey, ain't you a little young to feel so alone?"
G Em C
Well they changed the name of my hometown When we moved away
Am C/G Em
Now it's more than words that I don't recognize
G Em C
That kid down at the filling station tried to keep my change from a twenty
Am C/G Em
I could see that cold assurance in his eyes
D Em
Hey you need ten dollars for the rainy day?
D A
Save and go to college or just get away
D Em
Or you could spend that money on a two-day stone
C C/E Am G D
Oh, there are worse things in this world than being alone let me tell you now...
Solo:
Am Em (x7)
C C/E Am G D
G Em C
So, if you're driving from Chicago, east of Gary
Am C/G Em
And you find a fallen town that has two names
G Em C
There'll be no one to possibly remember
Am C/G Em
A little lonesome brown-eyed boy who went by James
D
Oh the mill's shut down
Em
But the air's still sour
D
You get a hotel room
A
You gotta pay by the hour
D
Oh the good old days
Em
are just good and gone
C C/E Am G D
Like autumn leaves on a burning lawn
G Em C
I grew up on the Indiana side of Chicago
Am C/G Em
With the rusty steel mills belching in the westward wind
G Em C
