          F#m 
Signed the papers with a trembling hand 
        Bm                     C#m 
Keys in pocket, now I own this land 
      Bm                                      C#m 
But a house ain't home till you know your neighbors 
        D                     C#

They laughed at my designer boots

Clapping palmas to the guitar's cry

The same old tourists walk past my window 
          F#m
