[Verse 1]
F
She has a rough side where she buries all the scars
Dm7 Bbm
And the freedom of a child in the midnight dark
C Bb
All the crooked roads will only lead you home
Dm7 C F
This town is a woman

[Verse 2]
F
The way you talk is partly her fault
Dm7 Dm Bb
From the back roads to the church parking lot
C Bb
She knows where you go when you wanna be alone
Dm7 C F
This town is a woman

[Chorus]
Bb
You memorized her every curve
C
She took you in, she gave you nerve
Dm7 Bb
She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can’t make those dreams come true
C
She knows you’ll leave ’cause they always do
Dm7 Bb
She’ll wish you well and wait for you right here
Dm7 C F
‘Cause this town is a woman

[Verse 3]
F
She can feel you there with her eyes closed
Dm Bb
Like the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
Bbm C Bb
She knows things about you nobody else knows
Dm7 C F
‘Cause this town is a woman

[Chorus]
Bb
You memorized her every curve
C
She took you in, she gave you nerve
Dm7 Bb
She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can’t make those dreams come true
C
She knows you’ll leave ’cause they always do
Dm7 Bb
She’ll wish you well and wait for you right here
Dm7 C F
‘Cause this town is a woman

[Interlude]
F Bb F Bb F

[Outro]
F
The way you curse every time she tries to change
Dm Bbm
And when you’re not happy, you tell her she’s to blame
C Bbm
From the freeway down to the sugarcane
Dm C F
This town is a woman
Dm C F
This town is a woman
F
Oooh
Bb
This town
F
Oooh
Bb
This town
