I play all the chords as bar chords. Except for the bridge. I think that part sounds
best with more open strings ringing.
This song can be all bar chords, none (if you can mess with the Bm), or all power chords
if you wanted. It's a great one for beginners. Also, let me know if you have other
requests. I have a ton of these done.

CHORUS:
Dsus2 A Bm G Dsus2 A [NC]
Give me back my hometown, cause this is my hometown
All the colors of my youth, the red, the green, the hope, the truth
Are beatin me black and blue, cause you’re in every scene
My friends try to cheer me up, get together at the pizza hut
I didn’t have the heart to tell em, that was our place
These sleepy street lights on every sidewalk, side street
Shine a light on everything that used to be
CHORUS
Dsus2 G
Yeah, yeah, oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
Bm G
Ah ooooh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
Bm
You can have my grandma’s locket, the knife outta my grandpa’s pocket
Dsus2
Yeah my state champion jacket, I don’t care you can have it
Bm
Every made memory, every picture, every broken dream
Dsus2
Yea everything, everything, everything
CHORUS
Yeah, yeah, oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
Ah ooooh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
Repeat to Close
