When I was in town
D                      G                      A
 When I was in town, I  heard them sing those  songs.
D                      G                   A
 When I was in town, I  heard them sing so  strong.
D                 A          Bm              G
 Made my feelings  cry. they  touch my heart  inside.
D              A           G            D
 When I was in  town, they  made my day  alive.
D                       G                   A
 People stopping by, as  the songs began to  fly.
D                             G                        A
 Songs that made them stay so  strong they couldn't go  away.
D                         A             Bm                 G
 Their eyes would fall in  tears, their  skin without that  fear.

 When I was in  town, they  made my day  alive.

 Listening from every age, from  Punkies to grandmothers.
D                                     G               A
 From heavys to little children, like  you never seen  before.
D                   A             Bm            G
 Together they were  standing, as  not a normal  thing to see.
D              A        G                      D
 When I was in  town, I  heard them sing those  songs.
D                              G                        A
 I bought music cassettes from  the songs, I heard them  sing.
D                       G              A
 As everybody did, that  just for curiosity.
D                               A            Bm              G
 But for what they get in their  souls, were  life he's with  living for.

 When I was in town, I  heard them sing so  strong.

 They made my feelings  cry, they  touch my heart  inside.
