Our town

James Taylor - Our town


Capo 2nd Fret

C G C
Long ago, but not so very long ago
F G C
The world was different, oh, yes, it was

G Am
You settled down and you built a town and made it there
G F G
And you watched it grow, it was your town

- C -- G --

C G
Time goes by and time brings changes
Am
You've changed too
F G
Nothing comes that you can't handle
C
So on you go
C G
You never see it coming
Am C F
When the world caves in on you
F G F G
On your town, nothing you can do


C F C
Main Street isn't Main Street anymore
C F G
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
Am C F
Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
F G
In our town

C G C
The sun comes up each morning just like it's always done
F G C
Get up, go to work and start the day
C G
You open up for business
Am C F
That's never gonna come
F Am F G
As the world rolls by a million miles away


C F C
Main Street isn't Main Street anymore
C F G
No one seems to needs us like they did before
Am C F
It's hard to find a reason left to stay
F G
But it's our town
F G
Love it anyway
F Am G
Come what may
C
It's our town
