G         Em  
My home town
    C             Am
She big and she’s brown
  D                  G
She reaches to the sky above
      C                             Am
An every where you look she’s all around you

G        Em
My back yard
C             Am
Is dirty an hard
D                        G
It never seen a flower grown
     C                    Am
Since I can testify its no garden

G        Em  
My home folk 
    C           Am
Were raised in the smoke
D                           G
Of firy factory chimney stacks that gave you work
     C                D
But in return they choked you, 
G

When a wakeup
    C          Am
A wake up in the morning

     C                    Am
Gota save up all the money am earning
     C                    Am
Gota have enough to kiss this town

G                     Em
Borrowing books from the public library
    C                       Am
Teaching myself about the world outside
D                    G
Pictures of sunny places in fife
C          Am
Be goodbye town 

Goodbye

My mother started crying at the station

Asked me if I wouldn’t change my mind

D                        G
Am afraid the city light were going blind







D                              Am
The whistle blows and terminates my journey
G                        Am
Go reality is right on time
D                         G
The factory gate closed behind meeeeee
