Intro: (A5) (A5) (A5) (A5)

The (A) people came here from parts unknown

(D7) Sleepin' in their cars 'cause they didn't have homes

They (A) thought this place was the promised land

If (D7) you could roughneck, we could use a good man

(E7) Come on boy let me show you around

You could (D7) make a lot of money here (C)

Livin' in a (A) boomtown

Well (A) some build bars and big hotels

(D7) Downshift drive and the people live well

(A) High on the hog and wild on the range

(D7) Pocket full of cash instead of chump change

(E7) This place kicks when the sun goes down

(D7) Ain't life great when you're (C) livin' in a (A) boomtown

See (D7) oil was the blood that flowed through the soul

To (A) keep a man workin' when it's forty below

(B7) Relent to the devil in the (D7) cold cold ground

(C) Trying to make a dollar here (E7)

(A) Six short years the oil fields went

(D7) Rigs came down and the money got spent

And the (A) wisemen saved for a rainy day

The (D7) fools packed up and moved away

The (E7) hotels closed and the bars shut down

And it (D7) got real quite here, (C) livin' in a (A) boomtown

See (D7) oil was the blood that flowed through the soul

To (A) keep a man workin' when it's forty below

(B7) Relent to the devil in the (D7) cold cold ground

(C) Trying to make a dollar here (E)

Livin' in a (A) boomtown

Solo: (A5) (A5) (A5) (A5) x 2

Now the (A5) cafe's filled with people tellin' lies

(D5) Trying to figure out how the town went dry

(A5) You can buy a house a dime on the dollar

(D5) Need a good home just give me a holler.....

(E7) I can move you in with no money down

Still (D7) tryin' to make a dollar here (C) livin' in a (A) boomtown

Livin' in a (A) boomtown

Livin' in a (A) boomtown
