This is my first song.
This song is tuned down a half step.So the tuning from top E down is D# G# C# F#
A# D# or Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. Amos does some different fingering's on the strings
but here are the basics.
C G
Up on Main St, they built a highway
Am F
Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard
C G
Up on Thursday down on Friday
Am F
People ask me why are things so hard
C
Times been hard though
G Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto
F G C G
And it’s a long way back home
C G
There’s an old train in a stock yard
Am F
It’s like a graveyard of things come and gone
C G
And the wind moves on a gravestone
Am
Where the names gone
F
And everybody knows
C
Times been hard though
G Am
In Laredo to San Jacinto
F G C Am
And it’s a long way back home
F C Am
Sometimes you’re standing still
F C
And the wind just beats you down
Am G
Oh and sometimes it’s just so hard
D F G
to keep your two feet right there on the ground
Pedal Steel Solo - Am F C 2x then Am F C D F G C
C
Mother’s faithful
G
She goes to church still
Am
Prays on Sunday
F
And Mondays too
C
Father's somewhere
G
In the back field
Am
Thinking out loud
F
That this ain'’t nothing new
C
Times been hard though
G Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto
F G Am
So why don’t we just go back home
F G F C G F Repeat 3x End on the C
Why don’t we just go back home
