Small towns & BIG DREAMS

Transcribed by Alex Legere
Capo 1st fret

Intro: E-B-A-B(x2)



E                    B
I grew up in a small town
A                    B                E
A wheat-fields-for-a-downtown kind of place
                     B
There was really not much around
A                      B
You blink and you miss it
E                      B
I never knew what life would bring
A                B
But I always had big dreams
E                              B
Iād love to play my guitar and sing
A                        B
And every night Iād wish that
C#m                   B
Iād get a shot on the Opry stage
    A                           B
And have people come and see me play
C#m             B
Blastinā on the radio waves
A                      B
Enough to make my mama cry

                    E (E---2/4--)
Thatās where I come from
A            B
Thatās who I am
                     E (E---2/4--)
Hard-workinā and God-blessed
A                      B
Yes sir, and thank you maāam
C#m             B                       A    Asus
The best things around that I have ever seen
                E                 E (E---2/4--) A  B
Came from small towns & big dreams



That small town went and grew up
But I never changed much by Godās grace
Friends and family kept in touch
When I moved to Tennessee
I sing my songs and travel round
I met a girl and weāre settling down
We want to find a small town
Where we can raise a family (cause)


For the bridge try this

Been around the world donāt matter anywhere I go
(3)              (/2)                (3)                  (/2)
From small town stars to city lights Iāve found my kind of folks
C#m                B            A                   B
Itās about you and who you are, itās all a state of mind
E(E--2/4--)              A                B
And as Iām givinā you my heart I hope you find that

Hope it works for ya's!! Enjoy
