Text size
 
Capo on 1st fret
               
 
G 
It seems like years and a million tears 
                               D 
Since you've left the old hometown 
 
Now you've changed they say and the great white way 
                       G 
Is your new stomping ground. 
 
Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me 
                           C 
'Cause you never write or call 
D 
But I'll be around when they let you down 
                              G 
And I'll catch you when you fall. 
 
Chorus 
 
G 
Well I'll catch you when you fall 
  D   
There's no one else but you. 
 
Now, you're riding high but honey by and by 
                                  G                                  
You're gonna cry for love that's true. 
 
And when you're uptown baby 
                        C 
Starts giving you the stall. 
 D 
Well I'll be around when they let you down 
                             G 
And I'll catch you when you fall. 
 
  
G 
Well, they've turned your head, ?cause I've heard it said 
                           D 
You're ashamed of us back home. 
 
But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound 
                         G 
Still chills you to the bone. 
 
With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes 
                          C 
You aren't fooling me at all 
D 
When you're feeling bad this ol' country lad 
                        G 
Is gonna catch you you fall. 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
(Note: 
I did not have the song by Buck Owens, but found a 
Small clip on line. Just enough to get the song key. 
I hope this helps.The lyrics was from Jack Ingram's version.)
