Joe Jackson, "Home Town" from Big World
transcribed by phillip@princeton.edu
D A Bm F#m G D A
Of all the stupid things I could have thought this was the worst
D A Bm F#m G D A
I started to believe that I was born at seventeen
D A Bm F#m G D A
And all the stupid things, the letters and the broken verse
D A Bm F#m G D A
Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer, they'd always been
D A Bm F#m G D A
And now I plough through files of bills receipts and credit cards
D A Bm F#m G A
and tickets and the daily news and sometimes I just wanna go back to my
Chorus
D F#m G A
Home Town, though I know it'll never be the same
D F#m G
Back to my home town, 'cause it's been so long,
A F#m (???)
and I'm wondering if it's still there.
We think we're pretty smart, us city slickers get around
And when the goping's rough we kill the pain and relocate
We're never married, never faithful not to any town
But we never leave the past behind it just accumulates
So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound
Of waves and seagulls, football crowds and churchbells
Chorus
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOE JACKSON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
