Capo 4th Fret
INTRO: D Bm G A (x3) D G D A
D Bm G A
I love this town, like an unmade bed
D Bm G A
I love this town, of the living dead
D Bm G A
I love this town, gonna paint it red
D G D A
If I can spare a minute
I love this town - where the curtains twitch
Where this door scratches - next door's itch
It's a pantomime - at fever pitch
And we can all be in it
KEY CHANGE to C:
BRIDGE 1:
C Em F G
People here are large as life
C Em F G
They know the whole world and his wife
Am Em F C
From a razor's edge to a kitchen knife
Dm E
They'll be glad to help you
KEY CHANGE back to D:
I love this town - of hidden charms
Where no one means - you any harm
And if you sleep - through false alarms
No one here would blame you
I love this town - on the beaten track
Where nothing slips - between the cracks
Where rent's arrears - his heart attack
Now isn't that a shame, ooh!
KEY CHANGE to G:
SOLO: G Em C D (x3) G C G D
KEY CHANGE back to C:
BRIDGE 2:
Everyone's friendly to your face
And everybody knows their place
As long as you respect their space
You won't have to worry.
BRIDGE 3:
A G G/F# F
The town hall clock is calling out
A G G/F# F
It's rush hour on the roundabout
A G G/F# F
And now I know without a doubt
F#m Bsus4-B
It's the place for me
KEY CHANGE TO E:
E C#m A B
I love this town, the dirty streets
E C#m A B
It's a merry-go-round… with broken seats
E C#m A B
Where silk and lace… and satin sheets
E A E B
Are only dirty washing
I love this town - down on its knees
It's going under - by degrees
Still we can do - just as we please
As long as no one's watching.
KEY CHANGE TO F#
F# D#m B C#
I love this town, I love this town
F# D#m B C#
I love this town, I love this town
F# D#m B C# F# B F# C#
I love this town, I love this town
F# B F# C#
I love this town
F# B F# C#
I love this town
D E F#
I love this town.
