The Wannadies - My Home Town
Album: The Wannadies (1990)
Transcribed by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard E
Obscure band, obscure song, obscure little town... But anyone who's grown up
in Skelleftea, Sweden, will recognize this as a classic, and a local anthem!
Note that for the chords D/F# and B7/D#, the second note is only the root note,
played by a bassist on the recording. They're entirely optional on guitar.
Oh, and the chord progressions for the verse and chorus never change throughout the song!
Intro:
Em D/F# G Am (x2)
Em D/F# G Am B7 B7/Eb Em C
[Verse]
Em D/F# G Am
...This is "my home town song"
Em D/F# G Am
...A "how it's like at home song"
Em D/F# G Am B7
...Spending hours all alone
B7/Eb Em C
Waiting by the phone
Em D/F# G Am
It's hard to say come closer
Em D/F# G Am
When you're so far away
Em D/F# G Am
And sometimes it's hard to remember that
B7 B7/Eb Em C
...Tomorrow's as close as yesterday
[Chorus]
Am G
This is my home town
C G D
This is my home town
Am G
This is my home town
C G
This is...
D Em [Same chord progression as the intro]
My hometooown...
[Verse]
I'm dossing up and down these streets,
Where nothing ever seems to change
Where wet green grass meets dust and dirt
That's where love no longer hurts
I've never been a loner,
At least I've never wanted to be one
So whatever you do, remember one thing:
My home is where my heart is and...
[Chorus]
This is my home town...
[Repeat the intro chord progression again]
[Verse one reprise; BASS NOTES ONLY, NOT CHORDS]
E F# G A
...This is "my home town song"
E F# G A
...A "how it's like at home song"
E F# G A B
...Spending hours all alone
Eb E C
Waiting by the phone
(You can start to pick the guitar chords here)
Em D/F# G Am
It's hard to say "come closer"
Em D/F# G Am
When you're so far away
Em D/F# G Am B7
Whatever you do, remember one thing:
B7/Eb Em C
My home is where my heart is and...
[Chorus]
This is my home town...
[Repeat the intro chord progression once again, slow it down at the end and finish with an Em]
