Our Town - Iris DeMent [intro] C F C G |Chorus: |C F | And you know the sun's settin' fast, | C G |And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts. | C F |Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye, | C |But hold on to your lover, | G |'Cause your heart's bound to die. |C F C G | Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town. |C F C G | Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town, | C |Goodnight. (F) (C) (G) (C) C F Up the street beside that red neon light, C G That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night. C F He was the tender and I ordered a beer, C G It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here. Chorus: C F It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss. C G I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist. C F Over there is where I bought my first car. C G It turned over once but then it never went far. Pre Chorus: C F And I can see the sun's settin' fast, C G And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts. |Chorus: | C F |Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye, | C |But hold on to your lover, | G |'Cause your heart's bound to die. |C F C G | Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town. |C F C G | Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town, | C |Goodnight. (F) (C) (G) (C) C F I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa. C G They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall. C F I bring them flowers about every day, C G But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say. Pre-Chorus: C F If they could see how the sun's settin' fast, C G And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts. Chorus: C F Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning-bugs fly. C G But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes. C F I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go. C G I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul. Pre-Chorus: C F But I can see the sun's settin' fast, C G And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts. Chorus: C Goodnight. (F) (C) (G) (C)
