My home town by the shadows
chorded by ross

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

My home folk 
    C           Am
Were raised in the smoke

Of firy factory chimney stacks that gave you work
     C                D
But in return they choked you,

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

The factory gate closed behind meeeeee
