Jason Michael Carroll	Where I’m From
Capo 1st Fret
Intro: G C D

V1: 
On a (C) three hour flight from Memphis to L(G)A (C) (G)
I was (C) silently celebrating my first class (G) upgrade
(D)Laughing at my (C) jeans and my (G) boots (C) (G)
Beside those (C) high-dollar shoes and Armani (D) suits
When the (C) gentleman next to me said the drinks up (G) here are free (C) (G)
So if you’d (C) like, the first one can be on (G) me
He said I’m (D) heading back from (C) business in New (G) York and Rome (C) (G)
Tell me (C) son, where do you call (D) home?

Chorus 1:
I said I’m from the (G) front pew of a (C) wooden white church
A (G) courthouse clock that (C) still don’t work
Where a (G) man’s word (Em) means every(D)thing (C)
Where (G) moms and dads were (C) high school flames
Gave their (G) children grandmother’s (C) maiden names
Yeah, it (G) may not sound like (C) much but it’s where I’m (G) fr (C) o (D) m

V2:
So we (C) drank that round and then (G) another
There wasn’t a (C) topic in this world we did not (G) cover
He said I (D) headed out west when (C) I was barely (G) 19
Just a (C) kid chasing my (D) dreams
And I said I’m (C) flying out here to pick up my big (G) brother
He’s been (C) fighting the cancer they dis (G) covered
But he (D) called last night and said “(C) I think this is the (G) end
So come take me (C) home to my family and my (D) friends”

Chorus 2:
Where the (G) quarterback dates the (C) homecoming queen
The (G) trucks are Ford and the (C) tractors green
Where (G) Amazing Grace is (Em) what we (D) sing (C)
There’s a (G) county fair every (C) fall
And your (G) friends are there no matter (C) when you call
It (G) may not sound like (C) much but it’s where I’m (G) fr (C) o (D) m

Bridge:
And as we (Em) stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I’ll (D) pray for your brother and did I mention that
(G) Italian suits haven’t always been my (C) style
See, I was the (Em) quarterback of my high school team
We took (D) state back in ’63
And my (C) wife, she’s still my homecoming (D) queen
