One Horse Town

ONE HORSE TOWN by Blackberry Smoke

[Organ Intro]  Dm F C G - Dm F C
[Guitar Intro] Am C


[Verse]

          Dm                    F
In the tiny town where I come from
       C                                       G
You grew up doing what your daddy does
                Dm                              F              C
And you don't ask questions you do it just because
                Dm                     F
You don't climb to high or dream too much
            C                                   G
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck
              Dm                 F                                   C
You can wind up right back where your daddy was


[Chorus]

                       Am                           F
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
                    C                                            G            Em
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too
                      Am                                           C
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                                             F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
    F                            G                               Am
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town


[Verse]

Yeah this one horse town
I'm an old married man at the age of 23
Got 2 little boys on the baseball team
And that might be their only ticket out
All they got is a worn out name
And a daddy that could've gone all the way
But I hang my saddle up and I settled down

[SOLO] Dm F C G - Dm F C


[Chorus]

                       Am                           F
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
                    C                                            G            Em
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too
                      Am                                           C
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                                             F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
    F                            G                               Am
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town


[Chorus]

                       Am                           F
This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
                    C                                            G            Em
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too
                      Am                                           C
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
              G                                                             F
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
    F                            G                               C
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
