The Wannadies - My Home Town Album: The Wannadies (1990) Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com) Tuning: Standard E Obscure band, obscure song, obscure little town... But anyone who's grown up in Skelleftea, Sweden, will recognize this as a classic, and a local anthem! Note that for the chords D/F# and B7/D#, the second note is only the root note, played by a bassist on the recording. They're entirely optional on guitar. Oh, and the chord progressions for the verse and chorus never change throughout the song! Intro: Em D/F# G Am (x2) Em D/F# G Am B7 B7/D# Em C [Verse]

[Verse] I'm dossing up and down these streets, Where nothing ever seems to change Where wet green grass meets dust and dirt That's where love no longer hurts I've never been a loner, At least I've never wanted to be one So whatever you do, remember one thing: My home is where my heart is and... [Chorus] This is my home town... [Repeat the intro chord progression again] [Verse one reprise; BASS NOTES ONLY, NOT CHORDS]
