Let me know what you guys think! Also, I have a little lyrics'
dispute between my brother... According to the CD lyrics the
chorus says 'and they dammed the river' but on the recording it
sounds like 'and they downed the river'. What ever you prefer.
Anybody wanna rate it?

(Verse 1)
B E
Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
B E
Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow
B E
One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet
B E
Both police cars came, but I got away
(Chorus 1)
F# E
It was a boomtown back in'62, 'til the coal ran out
B
And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
F# E
That we all used to fish
F# E
Population 405 and I made it 404 one night
B F#
And left the city limit sign layin' in the ditch
(no chord) (Chorus walk) (B-E walk)
Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis
(Verse 2)
B E
Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard
B E
It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far
B E
Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May
B E
Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place
(Bridge)
E
Where we can walk down to the country store
B F#
And we won't even have to lock our door
E B F# E
We can still get air and water there for free
F# E
She said that sounds good to me
(Chorus 2)
F# E
It was a boomtown back in'62, 'til the coal ran out
B
And a drought came through, and they dammed the river
F# E
That we all used to fish
F# E
Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more
B F#
And there's a city limit sign layin' in the ditch
(no chord) (Chorus Walk) (B-E walk)
That I need to fix, back in Metropolis
(B-A walk)
I'm almost in Metropolis
(no chord)
And I'm back in Metropolis
