My Town - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Sometimes a town isn't big enough for two persons. In such cases, a song like this is good to know. Second track on McSister's self-titled debut album 1976.
It's often hard to tell who's the singer and who's the songwriter. I checked the label. It IS Anna's song ...
G C D7 G
when I awake I think of you
G Am7 A7 D7
who made my heart break and made me feel like a fool
Em Ddim B7 Em
you led me on just to bring me down and I fell so low
Am6 G D6 D7 G
so if the stars are out tonight I'll get up and go
G C D7 G
on my way I walked through town
G Am7 A7 D7
stopped at your house but you weren't around
Em Ddim B7 Em
the lights were on to ward off thieves while you stayed out all night
Am6 G C A7 ... D7
but it was you who stole my heart when you hadn't any right
G Bm7 D7sus4 G
it 's my town but I had to leave it
Bm Am A7 D7
and head south where the climate is kind
G Bm7 D7sus4 H7
and if a time comes when I'm feeling better
C G D6 D7 G
I'll be back like the birds in the spring
