Chords

This is my first song. This song is tuned down a half step.So the tuning from top E down is D# G# C# F# A# D# or Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. Amos does some different fingering's on the strings but here are the basics.
C                           G
Up on Main St, they built a highway

            Am                   F
Changed its name to Johnson Boulevard

      C                G
Up on Thursday down on Friday

          Am                    F 
People ask me why are things so hard

           C   
Times been hard though

     G               Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto

          F     G        C     G
And it’s a long way back home

           C                G 
There’s an old train in a stock yard

           Am                       F
It’s like a graveyard of things come and gone

        C               G
And the wind moves on a gravestone

          Am
Where the names gone

              F
And everybody knows

           C
Times been hard though

   G               Am
In Laredo to San Jacinto

          F    G        C      Am
And it’s a long way back home

    F             C              Am
Sometimes you’re standing still

                  F         C
And the wind just beats you down 

        Am            G
Oh and sometimes it’s just so hard 

   D                                     F      G
to keep your two feet right there on the ground

And Mondays too

        C
Father's somewhere

       G   
In the back field

             Am
Thinking out loud

                        F
That this ain'’t nothing new

           C
Times been hard though

     G               Am
From Laredo to San Jacinto

            F       G       Am              
So why don’t we just go back home

Why don’t we just go back home
