My Hometown chords by Charlie Robison

Charlie Robinson: My Hometown

Mandolin/Drum intro

G                   C
Well I had a buddy back in 81
       G
And we made ourselves a pact
G                   C
We were headin for the new pipeline
       D
And we were never coming back
   G                 C
We worked 80 hours making time and a half
      G
But La Grange was too damn hot
G                            C
So we drove back home home at the end of that week
    D            G
And we spent it all on pot
G                   C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
           G        D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay
             G              C
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down
           G         D      G    C  G  D  G
I'll see you around round my hometown
G             C
Well I played ball every single fall
       G
I could run just like the wind
G                  C
I went to college like they asked me too
     D
But they didn't ask my friends
G                C
Don't think I've seen a single classroom
   G
But I drank a lot of beer
G                 C
My buddies still love to listen to me
      D           G
When I talk about that year
             G                C
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
            G      D
I'll see you in Dallas but I won't have long to stay
             G             C
If your ever out west son and your feeling like slowin' down
         G      D         G    C  G  D  G
I'll see you around round my hometown

SOLO

G               C        G
Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess
G                  C
But I never learned how to wear my hair
   D
And I never learned how to dress
G               C
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey
G
I'm never more to roam
G                   C
Gonna pack my bags a little heavy this time
      D        G
Gonna head my ass back home
              G         C
So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way
           G        D
I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay
              G              C
If you're ever out west son and you're feelin' like slowin' down
         G          D    G C
I'll see you around round my hometown
          G      D        G
I'll see you around round my hometown
