Intro: C  G     F   Dm7   C  

N.C.                         C 
It's closing time tonight in Harlan 
                            G 
Set the alarm, turn out the lights 
                      F 
Not a soul out on the sidewalk 
                      C 
As she steps into the night 



Across the parking lot she fumbles 
                       G 
In her handbag for the keys 
                     F 
Another long day of ?Thank you's" 
                                    G 
"Yes, ma'am's? and ?May I help you, please? 


                              F 
Sure didn't turn out like she planned 
                           C 
She thought she'd be a star by now 
                  G 
Dodging paparazzi cameras 
                              C 
But she's in Harlan still somehow 


                             F 
What happened to the leading lady 
                     C 
Living her life upon the stage 
                         G       F 
Still only working as an extra 
                              C 
In a film called ?Hometown, USA? 


INTERLUDE: C  G     F   Dm7   C  

N.C.                           C 
Now somewhere south of town on 40 
                                  G 
A Greyhound bus rolls through the night 
                     F 
Staring out a greasy window 
                           C 
He keeps searching for the lights 



No choice but head back home to Harlan 
                          G 
When foreclosure shut him down 
                          F 
And after all that he had worked for 
                                      G 
Just to end up right back in your hometown 


                               F 
What happened to the ?Ride 'em cowboy? 
                      C 
Living his life out on the range 
                        G 
He's just another hired hand now 
                              C 
In a film called ?Hometown, USA? 


Instrumental: C   F     C     G   F   C   D 


                **Key Change - Up 2 Semitones** 


N.C.                              D 
Now they don't know their fate is turning 
                               A 
They're drifting closer in the dark 
                         G 
And as he steps in for a quick one 
                      A 
She's already at the bar 


                               G 
Tonight her lines will come so natural 
                              D 
And he'll tell tales of trails he rode 
                                 A 
They'll fall in love beneath the neon 
                                D 
Tonight they're gonna steal the show 



                               G 
Sure didn't turn out like they planned 
                           D 
But they've found their own true way 
                                 A 
It's not the big break that they dreamed of 
                               Bm 
But you know they're gonna be okay 
                          A         G 
It's not a bad part after all now 
                              D
