Arnold Hill - Yarntown

[Intro]
Am G F
Am G F

[Verse 1]
Am Am/G Fmaj7
The welcome sign is hanging on
G Am
By a thread to a post
Am G Fmaj7
On the side of a road that’s over grown
G C
From better times it does not know
Em Am F Am
It’s suffocated by the hopes and dreams that used to be so new
G Fmaj7
It’s left me asking what went wrong

[Chorus 1]
C Am E C
People living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C Am E E7
People building, they’re building lives inside this yarn town, this yarn town

[Turnaround]
Am G F

[Verse 2]
Am G F
It was my home, for eighteen years
G Am
Forever gone and never coming back
G F
I felt it wrong, to turn away
G C
From all I knew and loved so dear
Em Am F Am
It rendered me strong enough to say goodbye to the streets I used to roam
G F
Maybe it’s me who cannot change

[Chorus 2]
C Am E
People living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C Am E E7
People smiling and not denying of this yarn town, this yarn town.

[Bridge]
F G Am
A fortunate son, I must confess
F G Am
To wishing your slow and painful death
F G C G/B Am G F
But every flock must come back home, and home is here on broken roads
G
I want to know

[Final Chorus]
C Am E
These people living, people giving to this yarn town, this yarn town
C Am E
People building, they’re building lives inside this yarn town, this yarn town
C Am E
It has built me, my roots run deeply through this yarn town, this yarn town
C Am E
It never left me, no matter how I ran from yarn town, this yarn town

[Outro]
