Eric Church - Homeboy

A G

verse 1
A5
you were too bad for a little square town
G D2
with your hip – hop hat and your pants on the ground
A5
heard you cussed out mamma , pushed Daddy around
G D2
you tore off in his car
A5
here you are runnin these dirty old streets , . –
G D2
tattoo on your neck , fake gold on your teeth
A5 G D2
got the hood here snow , but you cant fool me , we both know who you are

chorus :
A5 G D2
homeboy your gonna wish one day you were sittin on the gate of a truck by the lake
A5 G D2
with your high school flame on one side , ice cold beer on the other
A5 G D2
ain’t no shame in a blue collar forty , little house little kids little small town story
A5 G D2 A5 G
if you dont ever do anything else for me just do this for me brother , come on homeboy

verse 2
A5
i’s haulin this hay , uncle joe’s farm
G D2
thought of us bare foot kids in the yard
A5
man it seems we were just catchin snakes in the barn
G D2
now youre caught up in this mess
A5
i can use a little help unloadin these bales
G D2
i can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
A5
aint a glamorous life , but itll keep you outta jail
G D2
and not worry us all to death

chorus

A G 3

A5
you cant hold back the hands of time
G D2
mamas goin grey and so is Daddys mind
A5
i wish youd come on back and make it alright
G D2
before theyre calledhomeboy

A G D A ( rest of song follows this pattern )

homeboy

come on homeboy

homeboy

come on homeboy

( other things to consider are little adds like a vibrato on the G on your low E
string after the D in both the outro and during the song like after the line “tore
off in his car”

let me know what you think
