lyrics

SMALL-TOWN HYMNS

capo I
verse: Am Em F C
chorus: F C F C F C Am Em F C
bridge: (C Em) x4 (F C) x2 Am Em F C

these telephone wires sing over the fields
the man of the hour, the only shield
an instant addiction has been revealed
moments you share in moments you steal

& it begins with these small-town hymns

& word has spread like a forest fire
all the voices forming a small-town choir

[ch]
& it begins in these small-town hymns
judging them over & over & over again

[br] (instr. w/harmonies)

[repeat 1st ch]
...through your heart & all your limbs
through your heart & all your limbs
