[Verse 1]
C                         F
  Walkin' down the street of my little town
C                              F
  All those old, old buildings   just a little run down
C                      Am
  Hotels and railroads    they've mostly gone to dust
         F                                     G
I wonder   is it true, what they say about the   rest of us.

C                   F
  All of my people,   they're outside of town
C                                       F
  Underneath those Norway pines in that   immigrant ground
C                          Am
  I go out there sometimes    and I read the names
         F                                 G
I wonder   did they look like me, did they   feel the same


[Chorus]
                F                          C
About my little town, 'bout my little town
          Am                    F
I guess I didn't, I didn't fall too far from the nest
     Am                              F                      G
That wide spot in the King of Trails   a little bit east of west
                 F                           C
That's my little town, that's my little town


[Verse 2]
C                                         F
  I sure miss the feelin' of slidin' down   Mrs. Meyers' hill
C                                      F
  She didn't like it all that much but   that was part of the thrill
C                                          Am
  Momma didn't like it either, in fact the word she used was no.
             F                          G
I've got the scars to prove I once flew   all those years ago.
C                                        F
  Just across from great grandpa's house   up on Saint Olaf's street
C                                  F
  Little norwegian lutheran church   and vesper bell so sweet
          C
You could feel those ancient rhythms for the day they were a town
    F                          G
For every wayward child it was time to go back home


[Chorus]
      F                              C
In my little town, in my little town
               Am                    F
Well I guess I didn't, I didn't fall   too far from the nest
     Am                              F                      G
That wide spot in the King of Trails   a little bit east of west
                 F                           C
That's my little town, that's my little town


[Outro]
                 F               C
That's my little town, my little town
