[Verse]
A

A E Gbm
This old town should've burned down in 1929
E Gbm
That's when we stood in line
D E
Waiting for our soup
D E
Swallowing our pride
A E Gbm
This old town should've burned down in 1931
E Gbm
When the rain refused to come
D E
Air filled up our bellies
D E
Dust filled up our lungs
A D E
And we thought our time had come


[Chorus]
D E A
This old town was built by hand
D E A E Gbm
In the dust bowl of the Mother land
Dbm D
There must be rock beneath this sand
Bm
Oh, I'll be damned
E A
This town still stands

[Verse]
A E Gbm
This old town should've burned down in 1944
E Gbm
When the last men went to war
D E
They came back different
D E
If they came back at all
A E Gbm
This old town should've burned down in 1956
E Gbm
That's when the twister hit
D E
And all our hopes were buried
D E
Beneath the boards and bricks
A D E
And we almost called it quits


[Chorus]
D E A
This old town was built by hand
D E A E Gbm
In the dust bowl of the Mother land
Dbm D
There must be rock beneath this sand
Bm
Oh, I'll be damned
E A
This town still stands


[Bridge]
Gbm
Somewhere in the distance
Dbm D
The city lights do shine
D A
The sidewalks gleam with neon dreams
A E
That call from time to time
Gbm
When my children's children
Dbm
Ask me why I didn't go
D E
They say the heart of any town
D E
Is the people that you've known
D Bm D E
They'll always call you home


[Chorus]
D E A
This old town was built by hand
D E A E Gbm
In the dust bowl of the Mother land
Dbm D
There must be rock beneath this sand
Bm
Oh, I'll be damned
E A
This town still stands
