E B/D# C#m

[ Verse 1 ]
 
E     
  In my little town
Em             Em7/A A7   
   I grew up believ--ing
D               Bm        Am     
  God keeps His eye on us all
F                C            
  And He used to lean upon me
C+                E7              A    
   As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Bm          E
   Lord I recall
          A    
My little town

[Verse 2]
            A/G#  F#m    
Coming home after school
Am6           D9               
    Flying my bike past the gates
       G         E7  F  
Of the factories
Bb                  F       
   My mom doing the laundry
F+             A 
   Hanging our shirts
             D         
In the dirty breeze

[Verse 3]
              G
 And after it rains
          
There's a rainbow
                          D
And all of the colors are black
     Em                         D
It's not that the colors aren't there
               G  Dmaj7     E    
It's just imagin-ation they lack
                 Em7
Everything's the same

     A              D    G  D  G  
Back   in my little town

Bm Bm/A A

D G D G

[Chorus]
D                        C#m7-5 
Nothing but the dead and dying 
                  Bm      
Back in my little town
D                        C#m7-5 
Nothing but the dead and dying 
                  Bm         
Back in my little town

A              F#m  
  In my little town

[Verse 4]
Am6               D9        
    I never meant nothin'
              G           E7  F  
I was just my fathers son
Bb           F     
   Saving my money
Bb             F     
   Dreaming of glory
Bb                  F    
   Twitching like a finger
       F+      A    D      
On the trigger of a gun
        D                        C#m7-5 
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
                  Bm      
Back in my little town 

[Outro]
D                        C#m7-5 
Nothing but the dead and dying 
        F#         Bm      
Back in my little town
D                        C#m7-5 
Nothing but the dead and dying 
         F#        Bm         
Back in my little town

D                        C#m7-5 
Nothing but the dead and dying 
         F#        Bm         
Back in my little town
