 SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - My Little Town Lyrics

Words & music by Paul Simon 1975

In my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24
I grew up believ--ing
God keeps His eye on us all
And He used to lean upon me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord I recall
My little town
g24 91422c4194d 24

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates
Of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging our shirts
In the dirty breeze

And after it rains
There's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagin-ation they lack
Everything's the same
Back in my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24

In my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24
I never meant nothin'
I was just my fathers son
Saving my money
Dreaming of glory
Twitching like a finger
On the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
Repeat and fade:
Nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town
g24 91422c4194d 24
