[VERSE 1]
I [C]really have a [Am]yen, to [Dm7]go back once a[G7]gain
Back [C]to the place where [Am]no-one wears a [Dm7]frown [G7]
To see once [F]more those super [B7]special just plain [C]folks
[D7] [G7] [C] / [C#dim] / [Dm7] / [G7]
In my home town
No[C] fellow could [Am]ignore, [Dm7]that little gi[G7]rl next door
She s[C]ure looked sweet in[Am] her first even[Dm7]ing go[G7]wn
Now there's [F]a charge for what[B7] she used to give f[C]or free
[D7] [G7] [C] / [C#dim] / [Dm7] / [G7]
In my home town
[REFRAIN 1]
[C]I re[C7]member [F7]Dan, the druggist on the corner
He was [C7]never mean or ornery, he was [C]swell
He killed his [F7]mother-in-law and ground her up real w[Am]ell
[C] [A] + [D7] [G7]
And sprinkled just a bit over each banana split
[VERSE 2]
Th[C]e guy that tau[Am]ght us m[Dm7]ath, who never[G7] took a bath
Acqui[C]red a certain measu[Am]re of renown [Dm7] [G7]
And after sc[F]hool he sold the [B7]most amazing pictur[C]es
[D7] [G7] [C] / [C#dim] / [Dm7] / [G7]
In my home town
Th[C]at fellow was [Am]no fool,[Dm7] who taught us[G7] Sunday School
And n[C]either was our kind[Am]ly Parson Brown[Dm7] [G7]
[line omitte[F]d to avoid prosec[B7]ution under Communi[C]cations Decency Act]
[D7] [G7] [C] / [C#dim] / [Dm7] / [G7]
In my home town
[REFRAIN 2]
[C]I re[C7]member [F7]Sam, he was the village idiot
Althoug[C7]h it seems a pity it was so [C]
He loved to bu[F7]rn down houses just to watch the glow [Am]
[C] [A] + [D7] [G7]
And nothing could be done, because he was the Mayor's son
Th[C]e guy that too[Am]k a knif[Dm7]e, and monogra[G7]mmed his wife
Then [C]dropped her in the [Am]pond and watche[Dm7]d her [G7]drown
Oh, yes, ind[F]eed, the people t[B7]here are just plain[C] folks
[D7] [G7] [C] / [C#dim] / [Dm7] / [G]
In my home town
Ahhhh... memories! Sounds just like my own home-town...
