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