Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Ordinary Town
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G C G C G C D C
G C
Common cool, he was a proud young fool
G C
In a kick-ass Wal-Mart tie
G C
Ripping down the main drag
D C
Tripping on the headlights rolling by
G C
In the early dawn when the cars were gone
G C
Did he hear the master's call
D C
In the five-and-dime did he wake and find
Am G/B C D
He was only dreaming after all, 'cause
CHORUS:
Em Am D
This is an ordinary town
Em
And the prophet stands apart
Am D
This is an ordinary town
B7 Em
And we brook no wayward heart
C G C F B
And every highway leads you prodigal back home
Em C G D
To the ordinary sidewalks you were born to roam
G C
Rock of ages, love contagious
G C
Shine the serpent fire
G C
So sang the sage of sixteen summers
D C
In the upstairs choir
G C
So sang the old dog down the street
G C
Beside his wailing wall
D C
"Go home, go home", the mayor cried
Am G/B C D
When Jesus came to city hall, 'cause
CHORUS:
Em Am D
This is an ordinary town
Em
And the prophet stands alone
Am D
This is an ordinary town
B7 Em
And we crucify our own
C G C F B
And every highway leads you prodigal again
Em C G D
To the ordinary houses you were brought up in
INSTRUMENTAL:
G C
Raised on hunches and junk food lunches
G C
And punch-drunk ballroom steps
G C
You get to believing you're even-Steven
D C
With the kids at Fast-Track Prep
G C
So you dump your bucks on a velvet tux
G C
And you run and join the dance
D C
But your holy shows and the Romans know
Am G/B C D
You're just a child of circumstance, 'cause
CHORUS:
Em Am D
This is an ordinary town
Em
And the prophet has no face
Am D
This is an ordinary town
B7 Em
And the seasons run in place
C G C F B
And every highway leads you prodigal and true
Em C G D
To the ordinary angels watching over you
