[Chorus]
A
This a real small town
A
Full of real fine folks
A
Who fell on real hard times
E
When the boom went broke
D A
And they work real hard
D A
And they pray real loud
D A
'Cause there's a real big heart
E A
In this real small town
[Verse 1]
F#m
The cost of living
D A
It may shift just like sand
D A
But on my grandfather's land
E
It's been steady as his hand
F#m
I used to hold when
D A
We'd go out and check the cows
D A
And that's where he taught me how
E
To make my living from the ground
Bm D
And I don't intend to let him down
[Chorus]
A
This a real small town
D A
Full of real fine folks
D A
Who fell on real hard times
F#m E
When the boom went broke
D A
And they work real hard
D A
And they pray real loud
D A
'Cause there's a real big heart
E A
In this real small town
[Verse 2]
F#m
Every Sunday
D A
I start the week off gettin' right
D A
Get direction for my life
E
At the downtown church of Christ
A F#m
Next to the courthouse
D A
Where they decorate the grass
D A
With fifty-seven flags
E A
For the lives we won't get back
Bm D
And I don't intend to forget the past
[Chorus]
A
This a real small town
D A
Full of real fine folks
D A
Who fell on real hard times
F#m E
When the boom went broke
D A
And they work real hard
D A
And they pray real loud
D A
'Cause there's a real big heart
E A
In this real small town
[Bridge]
F#m A
I couldn't paint a picture of this place
E
In my younger days
Bm D Bm
Oh, how times change
[Chorus]
A
This a real small town
D A
Full of real fine folks
D A
Who fell on real hard times
F#m E
When the boom went broke
D A
And they work real hard
D A
And they pray real loud
D A
'Cause there's a real big heart
E F#m
In this real small town
[Outro]
D A
'Cause there's a real big heart
E A D A E A
In this real small town
