Toby Keith – Boomtown (Guitar)

     A
The people came here from parts unknown

     D7
Sleepin' in their cars 'cause they didn't have homes

        A
Thought this place was the promised land

        D7
If you could roughneck, we could use a good man

     E7
Come on boy let me show you around

          D7                    C
You could make a lot of money here

                  A
Livin' in a boomtown

        A
Well some build bars and big hotels

       D7
Downshift drive and the people live well

        A
High on the hog and wild on the range

        D7
Pocket full of cash instead of chump change

     E7
This place kicks when the sun goes down

        D7                   C
Ain't life great when you're livin' in a

A
Boomtown

       D7
See oil was the blood that flowed through the soul

        A
To keep a man workin' when it's forty below

       B7
Relent to the devil in the

       D7
Cold cold ground

      C                     E7
Trying to make a dollar here livin' in a boomtown

       A
Six short years the oil fields went

       D7
Rigs came down and the money got spent

       A
And the wisemen saved for a rainy day

       D7
The fools packed up and moved away

     E7
The hotels closed and the bars shut down

          D7                    C
And it got real quiet livin' in a

A
Boomtown

       D7
See oil was the blood that flowed through the soul

        A
To keep a man workin' when it's forty below

       B7
Relent to the devil in the

       D7
Cold cold ground

      C                     E
Trying to make a dollar here livin' in a boomtown

        A5
Now the cafe's filled with people tellin' lies

       D5
Trying to figure out how the town went dry

        A5
You can buy a house a dime on the dollar

       D5
Need a good home just give me a holler

     E7
I can move you in with no money down

          D7                   C
Still tryin' to make a dollar here

                  A
Livin' in a boomtown

Livin' in a boomtown
