Slaid Cleaves - Hometown USA
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G F Dm7 C
N.C. C
It's closing time tonight in Harlan
G
Set the alarm, turn out the lights
F
Not a soul out on the sidewalk
C
As she steps into the night
Across the parking lot she fumbles
G
In her handbag for the keys
F
Another long day of “Thank you's"
G
"Yes, ma'am's” and “May I help you, please”
F
Sure didn't turn out like she planned
C
She thought she'd be a star by now
G
Dodging paparazzi cameras
C
But she's in Harlan still somehow
F
What happened to the leading lady
C
Living her life upon the stage
G F
Still only working as an extra
C
In a film called “Hometown, USA”
INTERLUDE: C G F Dm7 C
N.C. C
Now somewhere south of town on 40
G
A Greyhound bus rolls through the night
F
Staring out a greasy window
C
He keeps searching for the lights
No choice but head back home to Harlan
G
When foreclosure shut him down
F
And after all that he had worked for
G
Just to end up right back in your hometown
F
What happened to the “Ride 'em cowboy”
C
Living his life out on the range
G
He's just another hired hand now
C
In a film called “Hometown, USA”
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G F C D
**Key Change - Up 2 Semitones**
N.C. D
Now they don't know their fate is turning
A
They're drifting closer in the dark
G
And as he steps in for a quick one
A
She's already at the bar
G
Tonight her lines will come so natural
D
And he'll tell tales of trails he rode
A
They'll fall in love beneath the neon
D
Tonight they're gonna steal the show
G
Sure didn't turn out like they planned
D
But they've found their own true way
A
It's not the big break that they dreamed of
Bm
But you know they're gonna be okay
A G
It's not a bad part after all now
D
