INTRO: F C B C F C B C F C I grew up in a small town B C F A wheat field for a downtown kinda place C There was really not much around B C You blink and you miss it F C I never knew what life would bring B C But I always had big dreams F C I loved to play my guitar and sing B C And every night I would wish that B C I'd get a shot on the Opry stage B C And have people come and see me play B C Blastin' on the radio waves B C Enough to make my momma cry CHORUS F B C F C 'Cause that's where I come from That's who I am F B C F C Hard workin' and God blessed "Yes, sir", "Thank you, ma'am" F C B The best things around that I have ever seen B C F C F B C F C Came from small towns and big dreams That small town went and grew up But I never changed much by God's grace Friends and family kept in touch When I moved to Tennessee Sing my songs and travel 'round I met a girl and we're settlin' down We wanna find a small town where we can raise a family [CHORUS] F Been around the world, don't matter anywhere I go C Even here in Vancouver I've found my kind of folks B F It's about you and who you are F It's all a state of mind B F C And as I'm giving you my heart I hope you find 'Cause that's where I come from, that's who I am Hard workin' and God blessed "Yes, sir", "Thank you, ma'am" The best things around that I have ever seen F C B Just look around you'll see just what I mean The best things around that I have ever seen Came from small towns and big dreams -------------------------- B: |xxx331| or |113331| C: |x32010| F: |xx3211| or |133211|
