Hometown Blues
Charlie Starr w/ Benji Shanks
Standard tuning w/ capo on 2nd
Chords used: G, D7, C, A7
I can find this song. The D chord in the chorus transitions to a D7 on occasion. In the video of Charlie and 
Benji performing it, I'm pretty sure he actually mutes the whole chord. You can see the change but he strikes

[Verse 1]
GI wish i never come back home
Git dont feel right since i been grD7own
Gi cant find any of my oCld friends hangin round
Gwont nothing bring you dD7own like your homeGtown

[Chorus]
Chome is where the heart is

Gwont nothing bring you dD7own like your homeGtown
[Chorus]
Chome is where the heart is
Gthats what they always say
A7my heart lies in broken pieces sDcattered along the way

Gwell dont think about me when im gone
Gi dont mind travelling alonD7e
Gyou are the sweetest little tChing ive ever found
Gwont nothing bring you dD7own like your homeGtown
Gwont nothing bring you dD7own like your homeGtown
