F
She has a rough side where she buries all the scars
         Dm7                                      Bbm
And the freedom of a child in the midnight dark
        C                                 Bb
All the crooked roads will only lead you home
Dm7       C     F
This town is a woman


[Verse 2]
F
The way you talk is partly her fault
         Dm7                              Dm   Bb
From the back roads to the church parking lot
          C                               Bb
She knows where you go when you wanna be alone
Dm7       C     F
This town is a woman


[Chorus]
    Bb
You memorized her every curve
     C
She took you in, she gave you nerve
     Dm7                               Bb
She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can't make those dreams come true
    C
She knows you'll leave 'cause they always do
       Dm7                                  Bb
She'll wish you well and wait for you right here
       Dm7      C     F
'Cause this town is a woman


[Verse 3]
F
She can feel you there with her eyes closed
         Dm                            Bb
Like the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
Bbm       C                            Bb
She knows things about you nobody else knows
       Dm7      C     F
'Cause this town is a woman

[Chorus]
    Bb
You memorized her every curve
     C
She took you in, she gave you nerve
     Dm7                               Bb
She whispered all those dreams in your ear

But if she can't make those dreams come true
    C
She knows you'll leave 'cause they always do
       Dm7                                  Bb
She'll wish you well and wait for you right here
       Dm7      C     F
'Cause this town is a woman

[Interlude]
F Bb F Bb F

[Outro]
F
The way you curse every time she tries to change
         Dm                                      Bbm
And when you're not happy, you tell her she's to blame
         C                       Bbm
From the freeway down to the sugarcane
Dm       C     F
This town is a woman
Dm       C     F
This town is a woman
F
Oooh
Bb
This town
F
Oooh
Bb
This town
