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