Hợp Âm Chuẩn
intro
verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch
In a southern town where I was born
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
That's where I got my education
ch]A[/ch
I worked in the fields and I walked in the woods
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And I wondered at creation
ch]A[/ch
I recall the sun in a sky of blue
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And the smell of green things growin'
ch]A[/ch
And I lived everyday and I lived anyway
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Anyway the wind was blowin'
ch]A[/ch
But then I heard of a cultured city life
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Breath-takin' lofty steeples
ch]A[/ch
And the day I called myself a man
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I left my land and my people
verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
And I rambled North and I rambled East
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I tested and I tasted
ch]D[/ch
And a girl or two took me round and round
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But always left me wasted
ch]D[/ch
In a world that saw concrete and steel
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
With nothin' green ever growin'
ch]D[/ch
Where the buildings hide the rising sun
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And stop the free wind from blowin'
ch]D[/ch
Where they sleep all day and they wake all night
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
To a world of drink and laughter
ch]D[/ch
I met that girl that I thought would be
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The one that I was after
verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch
In a soft blue gown and a formal tux
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Beneath that lofty steeple
ch]A[/ch
He said do you Barbra take this man
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Will you be one of his people
ch]A[/ch
And she said I will and she said I do
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And the world looked mighty pretty
ch]A[/ch
And we lived in a fancy downtown flat
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Cause she loved the noisy city
ch]A[/ch
Then the days grew cold beneath the yellow sky
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And I longed for green things growin'
ch]A[/ch
And I talked of home and my people there
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But she'd not agree to goin'
verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch
Then her hazel eyes turned away from me
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
With a look that wasn't very pretty
ch]E[/ch
And she turned into concrete and steel
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And she said I take the city
verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch
Now the cars go by on the interstate
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And my pack is on my shoulder
ch]A[/ch
And I'm goin' home where I belong
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Much wiser now and older
