Capo on 1st fret
               
 
 
 
F            C 
Yesterday I got a call 
G                        Am         C         G 
Someone I didn't know at all had passed away 
F                 C 
Mama said, "Yeah you know him 
G                            Am 
You went to school with both his kids 
F                            C 
They lived out on Prescott lane" 
C 
She said, "You should've seen the line 
Dm                             G 
Mrs. Johnson said to tell you 'Hi'" 
 
 
                  Am     C 
Thank God for hometowns 
                                   G      C 
And all the love that makes you go round 
                  Dm                C                G 
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in 
                       Am      G 
When you were dying to get out 
                Am         C 
Thank God for Church pews 
                       G                C 
And all the faces that won't forget you 
                   Dm              C 
Cause when you're lost out in this crazy world 
    G                       C 
You got somewhere to go and get found 
                  Am 
Thank God for hometowns 
C 
Yeah 
 
F                    C 
Last June my cousin tied the knot, 
G                        Am 
Didn't know if I'd go or not 
F        C          G     Am 
But I'm sure glad I did 
F                         C 
It was a pretty good haul but worth the drive 
G                                Am 
I could feel myself come back to life 
C                   G 
The closer that I'd get 
Am                           C 
First red light I rolled the windows down 
Dm                        G 
Breathed it in and took a look around 
 
 
                  Am    C 
Thank God for hometowns 
      G               C 
First kisses and touchdowns 
                  Dm                C                G 
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in 
                           Am    G 
When you were dying to get out 
              Am          C 
Thank God for Church pews 
            G                       C 
And all the faces that won't forget you 
                Dm                     C 
And when you're lost out in this crazy world 
    G                       C 
You got somewhere to go and get found 
                  Am     C 
Thank God for hometowns 
 
Bridge:
 
Am                    C 
I always find another piece of me 
Dm                     G 
Walking down these old familiar streets 
 
 
                  Am     C 
Thank God for hometowns 
                                   G      C 
And all the love that makes you go round 
                  Dm                C                G 
Thank God for the county lines that welcome you back in 
                       Am       G 
When you were dying to get out 
                Am         C 
Thank God for Church pews 
                       G                C 
And all the faces that won't forget you 
                   Dm              C 
Cause when you?re lost out in this crazy world 
    G                       C 
You got somewhere to go and get found 
                  Am    C     G 
Thank God for hometowns 
                  Am    C 
Thank God for hometowns
