There’s a little old town with a jetty and pier 
     C             G      C  G 
It’s where I spent my younger years 
C                 D                Em 
Blink and you just might miss it go by 
C                      D              G 
Well it’s my home town where my heart lies 

              C           G                  C  G 
You know I’ve been so far and I’ve travelled so wide 
         C             G             C    G 
From the city skyscrapers to the country lines 
             C               D              Em 
But no I’ve never found somewhere to call mine 
C                D           G 
My hometown is where I feel alive 

Chorus 
             D 
So take me back 
             C/D 
Back where I came from 
              D 
Back where I once was 
               C/D 
Back where I call home 
             Em                D              C/D 
You know that I don’t want to leave but I can say 
D 
My hometown is where my heart will stay

It’s where my old folks live in a waterfront house 
C                 G             C     G 
Two doors up from when the tide runs out 
               C             D                  Em 
Where you can drop your boat in the big bright blue 
         C              D                  G 
You can leave this town but it won’t leave you

My hometown is where my heart will stay

You can sit on the rocks as the world goes by

Have a beer with your pop and lose track of time 
             C             D                 Em 
Until your Nan she calls with a home cooked meal
