Nothin' ever happened round my home town
                              C            C  G/B  D

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/steve_earl/guitar_town_crd.html ]
I heard someone callin' my name one day
      C                                     G
so I followed that voice down the lost highway


Everybody told me you can't get far
              C         C  G/B  D
on $37 and a Jap guitar

now I'm smokin into Texas with the hammer down
       C                                     G*
and a rockin' little combo from the guitar town.

Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan

When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man
        C                              C*
put my back to the risers and make my stand

One of these days I'm gonna settle down
         C                                    G*
and I'll take you back with me to the guitar town
