our town -as sung by james taylor- composed by Randy Newman from the soundtrack from the movie'cars"

The recent comments are so kind inspiring that I yet again have put off work only cause I heard this on pandora and it grabbed me. It is an honor to provide music to to others .There is nothing more pure and trascendent of me personally than this music. Ya know we have nukes in japan, libya with smart bombs, and a job market so tough that college grads cant even get any job. Times change and time itself is getting cheaper somehow.It has lost its value. Infact I "waste time " w music cuz I get further behind at work. Luv to quit my day job but need to feed the family. Also I like my job but I luv sharing music. So all that hit me as I heard this on pandora an hour ago.I want to share and thank you. Now I am an hour behind but fulfilled. This is for all of us in our towns. :-)

Our town -- James Taylor Chords

Capo 2nd Fret

D A D
Long ago, but not so very long ago G A D
The world was different, oh, yes, it was A Bm
You settled down and you built a town and made it there A G A
And you watched it grow, it was your town

- C -- G --

D A
Time goes by and time brings changes
Bm
You've changed too
G A
Nothing comes that you can't handle
D
So on you go
D A
You never see it coming Bm D G
When the world caves in on you
G A G A
On your town, nothing you can do


D G D
Main Street isn't Main Street anymore
D G A
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
Bm D G
Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
G A
In our town C --------------- G-------------|
---- Instrumental Interlude -------|


D A D
The sun comes up each morning just like it's always done
G A D
Get up, go to work and start the day D A
You open up for business Bm D G
That's never gonna come G Bm G A
As the world rolls by a million miles away


D G D
Main Street isn't Main Street anymore
D G A
No one seems to needs us like they did before Bm D G
It's hard to find a reason left to stay G A
But it's our town
G A
Love it anyway
G Bm A
Come what may D
It's our town

Good Cover, do you have the tabs or picking pattern i could use? :)

[mumd2003]

@mumd2003 sorry I just do whatever comes into my fingers truly. I hope the video helps . I don't think it's even a regular kind of thinking than I do. A long time ago I did Travis pick in through an alternating picks with base runs or treble runs that happened to be within the fingered chord positions. Now it's just truly not at my conscious level. And that's what I don't have a head.you know you can also use audacity or other recording programs to slow down tempo but not pitch good luck
