Artist: Joe Jackson
Song: Hometown
Album: Big World
Tuning: Standard
I haven't tabbed more than the intro and verse and it's hard to tell if it's spot on or
not with all the reverb, but it's close enough. I knocked it down an octave too, normally
it's played up on fret 12+. I might make corrections later, unders comments I suppose.

BmHome F#mTown, though I Gknow it'll never be the Dsame
BAack to my Dhome F#mtown, 'cause it's Gbeen so long
And I'm Awondering if it's still Eadd9there.
We think we're pretty smart/tough, us city slickers (we) get around
And when the going's rough we kill the pain and relocate
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
But we never leave the past behind, we/it just accumulate/s
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells and I wanna go back to my
