Yarntown

[Intro]
Am  G  F
Am  G  F
 
[Verse 1]
Am          Am/G            Fmaj7
The welcome sign is hanging on
            G    Am
By a thread to a post
Am               G                Fmaj7
On the side of a road that’s over grown
                     G        C
From better times it does not know
           Em          Am                    F             Am
It’s suffocated by the hopes and dreams that used to be so new
             G                Fmaj7
It’s left me asking what went wrong
 
[Chorus 1]
C            Am                      E                        C
People living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C              Am                                   E               E7
People building, they’re building lives inside this yarn town, this yarn town
 
[Turnaround]
Am  G  F
 
[Verse 2]
Am        G                  F
It was my home, for eighteen years
                       G      Am
Forever gone and never coming back
          G              F
I felt it wrong, to turn away
                     G      C
From all I knew and loved so dear
               Em               Am                 F                 Am
It rendered me strong enough to say goodbye to the streets I used to roam
           G             F
Maybe it’s me who cannot change
 
[Chorus 2]
C            Am                      E
People living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C             Am                       E               E7
People smiling and not denying of this yarn town, this yarn town.
 
[Bridge]
F           G              Am
A fortunate son, I must confess
F               G                Am
To wishing your slow and painful death
F         G                    C         G/B     Am      G      F
But every flock must come back home, and home is here on broken roads
          G
I want to know
 
[Final Chorus]
C                  Am                      E
These people living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C              Am                                        E
People building, they’re building lives inside this yarn town, this yarn town
C              Am                                 E
It has built me, my roots run deeply through this yarn town, this yarn town
C               Am                         E
It never left me, no matter how I ran from yarn town, this yarn town
 
[Outro]
