D                         G5 G5 D          G5 G5
This old town's been home long as I remember
A                         G5 G5 D            G5 G5
this town's gonna be here long after I'm gone
D                              G5 G5 D        G5 G5
East side, West side--give up, or surrender
A                     G5 G5 D           G A
I’ve been down, but I still rock on...

Chorus – Play Riff A
Oh, and this town is my town--alright?
Love or hate it--it don't matter
'cause I'm gonna stand and fight
This town--is my town
she's got her ups and downs
                              (play first half Riff A) 
but love or hate it--it don't matter 
G    A               D
      ‘cause this is my town

D                           G5 G5 D           G5 G5
This old town is where I learned about lovin'
A                           G5 G5 D         G5 G5
this old town is where I learned to hate
D                             G5 G5 D          G5 G5
This town, buddy, has done its share of shovin'
A                            G5 G5 D          G A
This town taught me that it's never too late
