My first tab. This sounds pretty good to me, and it is a lot easier to play than the other versions. If you
notice something that's wrong or can be improved, you can leave a comment below and I will try to fix it.
Hope you guys like it.

Intro:
G, Cadd9, G, Cadd9, G, Cadd9, Em7, D
[Verse 1:]
G (D) Cadd9
The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses,
G D Cadd9
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is.
G D Cadd9
It can be grim and send you West from time to time,
G Em7
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck,
Cadd9 D
But this shipwreck, it is mine.
[Hook:]
Em7 D Cadd9 G
Day by day we grew to love this place,
Em7 D Cadd9
And where I make my grave, my anchor lays.
[Chorus:]
G D Cadd9
I've been wasting away,
G D Cadd9 (G)
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,
(D) G D Cadd9
If you're looking for a place to decay,
G D Cadd9 G
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.
[Verse 2:]
G
I've seen a punch or two,
Cadd9
Narrowly escaped a few,
Em7 D Cadd9
And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view.
G
I remember the football games,
Cadd9
The first time that I got laid,
Em7 D Cadd9
And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake.
[Hook:]
Em7 D Cadd9 G
Day by day we grew to love this place,
Em7 D Cadd9
And where I make my grave, my anchor lays.
Em7 D Cadd9 G
The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets,
Em7 D
I guess I can't kick up the roots;
Cadd9 G
It's home, and that's the truth.
[Chorus:]
G D Cadd9
I've been wasting away,
G D Cadd9 (G)
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,
(D) G D Cadd9
If you're looking for a place to decay,
G D Cadd9 G
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.
Em7, D, Cadd9, G x2
[Bridge x2:]
Em7 D
We know what it's like to be put down
Cadd9 Em7
So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground.
G D Cadd9 G
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy.
[Chorus:]
G D Cadd9
I've been wasting away,
G D Cadd9 (G)
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,
(D) G D Cadd9
If you're looking for a place to decay,
G D Cadd9 G
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.
G D Cadd9
I'm not stuck I'm staying,
G D Cadd9
Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying.
Em7 D Cadd9 G
And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound,
Em7 D Cadd9 G
You will always have a place in my town called revelry.
