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