Tom: C
Dm F
Seems like there’s not a day that goes
C
by I don’t hear your name around here
Dm F
Stories of who you were echo like a
C
soft whisper in my ear
Dm
Street corner conversations
F C
Reminiscin’ with the waitress
G
Oh it never gets old
Dm
Since you moved on from here
F C
Time’s moved on in years
G
And I wonder if you know
[Chorus]
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
G
Like you never left
Dm F
Hidden sounds in cracked sidewalks
C
and church pews
G
How could we forget?
Dm F C
You were so loved, you were one
of our own
C
And it’s never been the same since
G
you’ve been gone
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
[Verse]
Dm F
Heard that you used to work summers as
C
a checkout clerk at the IGA
Dm
Walk down the high school halls
F
Your picture’s on the wall in a
C
trophy case
Dm
And all those jokes you tell
F
They’re alive and well
C G
Down at the barbershop
Dm
I guess you hung around
F
Somethin’ to talk about
C G
And I hope it never stops
[Chorus]
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
G
Like you never left
Dm F
Hidden sounds in cracked sidewalks
C
and church pews
G
How could we forget?
Dm F
You were so loved, you were one of our own
C
And it’s never been the same since
G
you’ve been gone
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
[Bridge]
Dm
And all those jokes you tell
F
They’re alive and well
C G
Down at the barbershop
[Chorus]
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
G
Like you never left
Dm F
Hidden sounds in cracked sidewalks and
C
the church pews
G
How could we forget?
Dm F
You were so loved, you were one of our own
C G
And it’s never been the same since
you’ve been gone
Dm F C
Oh this town still talks about you
