Small Town
By John Cougar Mellencamp


C G F   G x4


C            G         F          G
  Well I was born in a smalltown
C       G         F          G
  and I live in a smalltown
C         G        Am
  Pro'bly die in a smalltown
         Dm           G
Oh those small communities


C        G              F          G
  All my friends are so small town
C            G           F              G
  My parents live in the same small town
C    G         Am
  My job is so small town
           Dm              G
  Provides little opportunity


C G F   G x2

C          G    F             G
  Educated in a small town
C                    G          F            G
  Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
C            G     Am
  Used to daydream in that small town
   Dm                            G
  Another boring romantic that's me


         C       G        F          G
But I've seen it all in a small town
C              G         F              G
  Had myself a ball in a small town
C            G                         Am
  Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
            Dm                   G
  Now she's small town just like me
 

BRIDGE:
     F         C                 F              C
No I cannot forget from where it is that I come from
     F              C          G
I cannot forget the people who love me
            F    C         F             C
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
    F             C              G
And people let me be just what I wanna be

C                G            F                            G
  Still hayseed enough to say look who's in the big town
C        G           Am
  But my bed is in a small town
                 Dm              G
  Oh, and that's good enough for me


C            G         F             G
  Well I was born in a small town
C           G            F             G
  And I can breathe in a small town
C       G           Am
  Gonna die in this small town
           Dm                         G
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

Small Town

G-C-G  (play 4 times)

G                                   G
There's a black man, with a black head 
G                           G
Living in a black neighborhood
G                                            G
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
G             F             C          G
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
G                             G                              G
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
G        F
And he looks at 'er and says
         C                           G
Hey Darlin' I remember when you could, stop a clock
                   C                G
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 C                 G
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 C                 D
Ain't that America, home of the free
                        C                            G
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me

BACK TO INTRO X4

G                  G             G                            G
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
G                         G
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
         F             C              G
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
      G                 G              G                    G
I remember, when I was younger, say'n "Boy ya gonna be the President"
           F                      C                           G
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT INTRO X4

VERSE 3:
             G                G                          G
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
G            G                   F                    C       G
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
         G                    G          G                 G
There's winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
          F                          C                       G
Cause the simple man, baby, pays the bills, the thrills, the bills that kill

Little Pink Houses

G	            C
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
Cadd9
And your adolescent dreams are gone
G                          C
Through the days you feel a little used up
Cadd9
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong
G                             C
It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
Cadd9
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
G                            C
You count your friends all on one finger
Cadd9
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live


Chorus:

G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
And that's as good as it can get for us
                                    G          D   C
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'


G                            C
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
Cadd9
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile
G                               C
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
Cadd9
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
G                         C
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Cadd9
Don't be discouraged by the future forget the past
G                     C
That's old advice but it'll be good to you
Cadd9
I know there's a balance see it when I swing past


Chorus (x2):

G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
And that's as good as it can get for us
                                    G          D   C
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'

G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
G                    D
Between a laugh and a tear
C
And that's as good as it can get for us
                                    G          D   C
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'


G                 C               Cadd9
When paradise can no longer amuse you.....

A                 E       F#m                     D
 When I was a young boy,       said put away those young boy ways

A                     E                   F#m                 D

Don't have to be so exiting.
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah.
You always look so invitin'   you ain't as green as  you  are  young
Hey baby, its you.    Come on, girl, now, its you.
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby.
Let's see what we can do.  Come on and make it . . .

G      Em

Perfect

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words

Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time

Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

       In a Manner of speaking 
                     Am/G
I just want to say
                    Am/G                 F
That I could never forget the way
                      Dm
You told me everything
                  E7/G#
By saying nothing

Am                              Am
        In a manner of speaking
                  Am/G
I don't understand
                  Am/G                           F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words

O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

best with Low G

Jump in de line, rock your body in time Up the chim-en-y!
 D                A                 D          A
Jump in de line, rock your body in time Whoa oh oh oh!

(Verse)
  D					      A
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
			      A7               D
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
				     A
Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line
			  A7               D
Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time

(Pre-chorus)
 D              G
Senora dances Calypso
 D                   A
Left to right is de tempo
     D                   G
And when she gets the sensation
       D                    A
She go up in the air, come down in slow motion

(Chorus)
 D                A                 D          A
Jump in de line, rock your body in time OK, I believe you!
 D                A                 D          A
Jump in de line, rock your body in time Somebody, help me!
 D                A                 D          A
Jump in de line, rock your body in time OK, I believe you!
 D                A                 D          A
Jump in de line, rock your body in time Whooooa!

(Outro)
  D					      A
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
			      A7               D
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
