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