[Intro]
G C Am C..............
G C Am C..............
[Verse]
GThis is a first rate town
CBut all you ever notice are the ways it’s stretched too far
GAnd it has been knocked down
CWell some of us are still left here between the scars
G CWhen you look around all you ever notice is you cannot see the stars
G CThis is a first rate town a first rate town you know
Am GYou just can’t see very far
[Interlude]
G C Am C..............
G C Am C..............
[Verse]
GWhen the last door closed
You packed your clothes
CAnd went back to Montreal
GSaid it was colder there
A chill hangs in the air
CIt helps you forget it all
AmYou left an empty bookshelf
CThat I didn’t fill ‘til fall
Am CThis is a first rate town a first rate town you know
GYou just can’t see it at all
[Interlude]
G C Am C..............
G C Am C..............
[Bridge]
Em G CWell it will fade as all things must
Em G CI loved you but you didn’t love me enough
Em G CWinter comes, the car will rust
Am CI’ll start it up then always run a little rough
[Verse]
GThis is a first rate town
CAnd all you ever notice are the ways it’s stretched too far
GThey keep the death rates down
CIt’s colder than a winter spent in defrosting cars
AmWe talked a lot of leaving
CDidn’t think you’d get that far
AmThis is a first rate town
CA first rate town you know
GYou just can’t see very far
[Outro]
G Am C..........
