[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]
Am
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
Am
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
Dm 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
Am 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]
Am
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 Am
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
Dm 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
Am 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]
Am C
I couldn't paint a picture of this place
G
In my younger days
Dm F Dm
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
Am 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 Am
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
