[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]
Bm
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
Bm
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
Em 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
Bm 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]
Bm
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 Bm
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
Em 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
Bm 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]
Bm D
I couldn't paint a picture of this place
A
In my younger days
Em G Em
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
Bm 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 Bm
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
