DAnd Aall the Bmstupid F#mthings, the Gletters Dand the Abroken verse
DStayed Ahidden Bmat the F#mbottom Gof the Ddrawer, they'd Aalways been
DAnd Anow I Bmplough through F#mfiles of Gbills recDeipts and Acredit cards
Dand Atickets Bmand the F#mdaily Gnews and sometimes I just Awanna go back to my
Chorus
DHome F#mTown, though I Gknow it'll never be the Asame
Back to my Dhome F#mtown, 'cause it's Gbeen so long,

and I'm wondering if it's still there.
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around

So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells
