Small Town Blues
(written by J.Bluth)

 Em             C          G           D
I grew up in a small town out in the country
 Em            C        G          B7
I never had much and I was often hungry
 Em         C          G            D
My dad he died young and I had to be strong
 Em          C           G          B7
But I was a child that didn’t get along

 Em         C         G            D
I tried to get up but I always fell down
 Em          C          G             B7
This twisted society has dragged me around
 Em        C         G        D
You made me the man that I am today
 Em         C          G             B7
But I never wanted to live my life this way

 Em          C          G           D
I had a bad reputation that never burned out
  Em            C         G          B7
And the teachers in school they had no doubt
 Em               C             G          D
As they said I’m a looser and I won’t get that far
 Em                   C            G           B7
And so I dropped out of school and played my guitar

 Em         C         G             D
I tried to get up but I always fell down
 Em          C          G            B7
This twisted society has dragged me around
 Em     C              G       D
You made me the man that I am today
 Em          C          G               B7
But I never wanted to live my life this way
