Capo 4th Fret (To Match Recording)
Intro: (Cadd9) (C) (Fadd9) (F) x 2
Well they (Cadd9) finally put that red light up in the (Fadd9) heart of town
Took the (Cadd9) stop sign down, it was shot up (Fadd9) anyhow
One (Cadd9) night I ran right through it in my (Fadd9) Chevrolet
Both po(Cadd9)lice cars came, but I (Fadd9) got away
It was a (G) boomtown back in'62, 'til the (F) coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they (C) dammed the river
That we all used to (G) fish
Population 405 and I (F) made it 404 one night
And left the (C) city limit sign layin' in the (G) ditch
Run plumb (F) over it, leavin' Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C) (Fadd9) (F)
Well, I (Cadd9) found myself in a big high-rise with a (Fadd9) concrete yard
It ain't safe (Cadd9) after dark, guess this ol' boy (Fadd9) drove too far
Met a (Cadd9) girl, fell in love, got married and she's (Fadd9) due in May
Says we're gonna (Cadd9) need more space, I said I know (Fadd9) just the place
Where we can (F) walk down to the country store
And we (C) won't even have to lock our door
We can (F) still get air and (F/E) water there for (Dm7) free
She said that sounds (Gsus4) good to me (G)
It was a (G) boomtown back in '62, 'til the (F) coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they (C) dammed the river
That we all used to (G) fish
Poupulation 404 and when (F) we pull in it'll be 3 more
And there's a (C) city limit sign layin' in the (G) ditch
That I (F) need to fix, back in Met(Cadd9)ropolis (C) (Fadd9) (F)
I'm almost in Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C) (Fadd9) (F)
And I'm back in Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C)
