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