Intro:  D  
Verse 1:
DThere's a for sale sign on a big 'ole rusty tractor
DCan't miss it, it's the first thing that you see

GHey that's my uncle Bill there by the courthouse
GHe'll be lowering the flag when the sun goes down
Chorus:
And this is my town,  Dna na Gna  D/F#na  Emna
YAeah, this is Dmy town,  na na Gna  D/F#na  Emna
(AHey) Where DI was born, where GI was raised
Where EmI keep all my yAesterdays
Where DI ran off cause GI got mad
And it cEmame to blows with Amy old man
Where DI came back to sGettle down
It's wEmhere they'll put me Ain the ground
This is Dmy town,  na na Gna  D/F#na  Emna
YAeah, this is Dmy town,  na na Gna  D/F#na  Emna,  Amy townD  
Verse 2:
There ain't much going on here since they closed the mill
That whistle still blows everyday at noon
A bunch of us still go down to the diner
Wonder if that interstate's still comin' through
But come Sunday mornin' service at the Church of Christ
Well there ain't an empty seat to be found
REPEAT CHORUS
Instrumental:   D    G    Em   A(x2)
Verse 3:
Well I bought and painted up that rusty tractor
You can't miss it, it's sitting right there in our yard
The county came and took that water tower
And that's Jenny with a baby in the car
Well we're off to Sunday service at the Church of Christ
And if we want a seat we better leave right now
               G    A    G         A    G<---(one strum on each of these)
And maybe later, me and ol' T-Roy will show you around

YAeah, where DI was born, where GI was raised....
