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