Lyrics
Long ago, (A)but not so very (D)long ago,
(G)the world was (A)diff'rent,
oh yes, it was.
(D)You settled down and (A)you built a town and (Bm)made it there
(Bm)and you watched it grow.
It was (D)your town.
(D)Time goes by and (A)time brings changes,
and (Bm)you change too.
(G)Nothing comes that you can't handle,
so (D)on you go.
(D)You never see it coming
when the (Bm)world caves (D7)in on (G)you,
on (Gmaj9)your town.
There's nothing you can (A)do.
(D)Main Street (Dmaj7)isn't Main
Street (G)(D)anymore.
(D)Lights don't shine (Dmaj7)as (Gsus2)brightly as they've (Asus)shone (A)before.
(Bm)To tell the truth, a (D7)lights don't shine at all
(Gm)but in (Gmaj9)our town.
(D)Sun comes up each morning,
just like it's always done.
(Gsus2)Get (G)up and go to (A)work and start the (D)day.
You open up for business;
(Bm)it's never (D7)gonna come
as the (Em7)world rolls (D)by, a (G)million miles (A)away.
(Gmaj9)We love it (A)anyway.
(Em)Come (D)what (G)may,
it's (A7sus)our town.
