Homeboy Eric Church
[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 don?t 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 you?re 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
Ain?t a glamorous life, but it?ll keep you outta jail
[G]and not worry us all to death[D2]
Chorus
A G 3x
Bridge
[A5]You can?t hold back the hands of time
[G]Mamas goin? grey and so is Daddy?s mind[D2]
A5
I wish you?d come on back and make it alright
G D2
before they?re called?homeboy
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
