The Streets Of Your Town

Kathy Mattea


Tom: Em

INTRO: Em

There's a red Ford pickup following me
G                                 C
Headlights off, too close to see
                G
I feel you all around
          C     D
Taking me down
                    Em
The streets of your town



Sweet magnolias just in bloom
G                                 C
Black light decals, quarter moon
                           G
I thought I heard a howling sound
            C     D
Calling out from
                    Em     D
The streets of your town


CHORUS:
             G                 C      ~ ~ D
The pavement swells beneath my feet
               G            C      ~ ~ D
It's a one-way ticket, no retreat
              Em7        D          Asus2
I'm a walking billboard, looking to settle down
           C               D
One of the lost and found
                       Em
On the streets of your town



Looking at memories from the first time
G                              C
Traces of what I hope to find
                   G
I am captive, I am bound
           C         D
To keep on walking
                    Em         D
The streets of your town,  oh, oh


CHORUS:
             G                 C      ~ ~ D
The pavement swells beneath my feet
               G            C      ~ ~ D
It's a one-way ticket, no retreat
              Em7        D          Asus2
I'm a walking billboard, looking to settle down
           C               D
One of the lost and found
                       Em
On the streets of your town


INSTRUMENTAL: Em    G    C    G    C  D  Em    C

BRIDGE:
            G                 D      C
Love has no reason, it has no mind
          G                      D     
The heart leads and we follow it blind,  oh, oh


CHORUS:
             G                 C      ~ ~ D
The pavement swells beneath my feet
               G            C      ~ ~ D
It's a one-way ticket, no retreat
