SMALL TOWN by Fred Eaglesmith (Capo 3)
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
G
When the woman you love
D
Puts you in the lost and found
G
And you look for her friends
D
They go underground
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
D
And you go out to all those
A D
Places you used to go
G
And even your old car
D
Is driving on slow
G
And the sidewalks whisper
D
The street lights flicker all day
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
D A D G D G D D A D
D
And there ain't enough
A D
Years in this old world
G
To cry out the loss and the love
D
Of a wayward girl
G
You'd think after all of this time
D
You'd know it by now
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
G
When the woman you love
D
Puts you in the lost and found
G
And you look for her friends
D
They go underground
D
It's a small town
A D
The word sure gets around
D
And you go out to all those
A D
Places you used to go
G
And even your old car
D
Is driving on slow

And the sidewalks whisper

The street lights flicker all day
