Capo 4

D Bm G A

I love this town, like an unmade bed

D Bm G A

I love this town, of the living dead

D Bm G A

I love this town, gonna paint it red

D Bm D A

If I can spare a minute

I love this town… where curtains twitch

Where this door scratches, next door’s itch

It’s a pantomime at fever pitch

And we can all be in it

Chorus 1:

C G F G

People here are large as life

C G F G

They know the whole world and his wife

C G F G

From a razor’s edge to a kitchen knife

Dm E

They’ll be glad to help you

I love this town of hidden charms

Where no one means you any harm

And if you sleep through false alarms

No one here would blame you

I love this tow on the beaten track

Where nothing slips between the cracks

Where ? arrears his heart attack

Now isn’t that a shame, ooh!

Solo

Chorus 2:

Everyone’s friendly to your face

And everybody knows their place

As long as you respect their space

You won’t have to worry

Bridge:

A G G/F# E

The town hall clock is calling out

A G G/F# E

It’s rush hour on the roundabout

A G G/F# E

And now I know without a doubt

F#m B

It’s the place for me

Key change to E

E C#m A B

I love this town, the dirty streets

E C#m A B

It’s a merry-go-round… with broken seats

E C#m A B

Where silk and lace… and satin sheets

E C#m E B

Are only dirty washing

I love this town… down on its knees

It’s going under… by degrees

Still we can do… just as we please

As long as no one’s watching

Change key to F#

I love this town, I love this town…

I love this town, I love this town…

I love this town, I love this town

I love this town

I love this town

I love this town
