FIRST RATE TOWN
As recorded by Good Kid
(2023 release)
[Intro]
G C C#m C
G C C#m C
[Verse 1]
GThis is a first rate town
GBut all you ever notice
CAre the ways it’s stretched to far
GAnd it has been knocked down
GBut some of us are still
CLeft here between the scars
GWhen you look around
GAll you ever notice is
CThat you can not see the stars
G CThis is a first rate town, first rate town you know
GYou just can’t see very far
[Interlude]
G C C#m C
G C C#m C
[Verse 2]
GWhen the last door closed
GYou packed your clothes
CAnd went back to Montreal
GSaid it was colder there
GA chill hangs into the air
CIt helps you forget it all
C#mYou left and empty bookshelf
CThat I did not fill till fall
C#m CThis is a first rate town a first rate town you know
GYou just can’t see it at all
[Interlude]
G C C#m C
G C C#m C
[Bridge]
B#m G CWell it will fade as all things must
B#m G CI loved you but, you didn't love me enough
B#m G CWinter comes, the car will rust
C#m CI'll start it up, then always run a little rough
[Verse 3]
GThis is a first rate town
GAnd all you ever notice
CAre the ways it's stretched too far
GThey keep the death rates down
GIt's colder than a winter
GSpent in defrosting cars
C#mWe talked a lot of leaving
CDidn't think you'd get that far
C#m CThis is a first rate town a first rate town you know
GYou just can’t see very far
[Outro]
G C#m C
