C                          C 
Daddy drove a rusted Ford, Bible on the dashboard 
         Am                       Am 
Told me "Right aint easy but the truth don't crash" 
        C 
We were kids in a world that didnt wanna change 
C 
Small-town rules big-city pain 
         Am 
He said "Girl when they talk don't you bow your head - 
Am                                         F 
Stand for what's right even if it breaks instead" 
                            G 
Front porch eyes courthouse lies 
                           F 
I learned fast how justice   dies 
 

 
               C 
In Mockingbird Town the truth gets loud 
                    G 
When you stand your ground theyll tear you down 
                Am 
But Daddy said "Baby dont shoot sound - 
              F 
It's a sin to kill whats pure and proud" 
     C                   G 
So I sing out won't back down 
        A G           F         F 
In this old   Mockingbird   Town 
 

 
C 
There was a man they swore was wrong 
    C 
But we all knew he never was 
Am 
I saw hate in Sunday clothes 
    Am 
And courage quiet as it rose 
     F 
That night I grew up heart on fire 
F                                      Am G 
Watchin good men walk through the wire 
        Am 
Now the wind still hums that old refrain 
G                   F 
  Of mercy born from pain 
 

 
               C 
In Mockingbird Town the truth gets loud 
                    G 
When you stand your ground they'll tear you down 
                F                Am 
But Daddy said "Baby dont shoot sound - 
              F 
It's a sin to kill what's pure and proud" 
          C              G 
So I sing out wont back down 
        Am              F          F 
In this old Mockingbird   Town 
 

 (I do play in RINGS) 
     Am 
Some hearts learn the hard way 
          G 
Right and wrong aint shades of gray 
              F 
If love's the law then let it be 
              F      F 
The song that sets us free 

End-Chorus (START ON CUE) 
               C 
In Mockingbird Town the truth still rings 
               G 
Through broken streets and guitar strings 
               F                    Am 
You can burn a book you can burn it down 
    C 
But you cant kill the sound of a mockingbird
