Earle Steve - Number 29 guitar tab

No. 29

by Steve Earle

[C] I was born and raised here,

This town's my town

[G] Everybody knows my [C] name

But [C] ever since the glass plant

Closed down things round

[G] Here ain't ever been the [C] same

Well [F] I got me a good job

Alright, some nights

[C] Take me to a [G] nother [C] time (walk down bass)

[G] Back when I was number twenty [C] nine

I was pretty good then

Don't you know, watch him go

Buddy I could really fly

Everyone in town came

Hip flasks, horn blasts

Any autumn Friday night

Sally yelled her heart out

Push em back, way back

I was hers and she was mine

Back when I was number 29

We were playing Smithville

Big boys, farm boys

Second down and four to go

Bubba brought the play in

Good call, my ball

Now they're gonna see a show

But Bubba let his man go

I cut back, heard it crack

It still hurts me but I don't mind

Reminds me I was number 29

Now I go to the ballgames,

Cold nights, half pints

Friday nights I'm always here

We got a pretty good team

Good boys, strong boys

District champs the last 3 years

Got a little tailback

Pretty slick, real quick

I take him for a steak sometimes

Nowadays he's number 29

[F] I don't follow rainbows

Big dreams, brass rings

[C] I've already [G] captured [C] mine (walk down bass)

[G] Back when I was number 2[C]9
