THE TOWN (Tyla) C C/B Am F (through the entire song) The line said "do not cross" I saw his hand from under the cloth I never really thought it would end this way They tried to break him in two Distort the truth Avert whatever he said so it came out wrong Many times he'd bathed in pain To the words "you try that again And you'll get what's coming, coming to you" Well, everyone said That he'd get his in the end While they all stood around, life passin' by He tried to show them that they were wrong I guess they'd lived this way for far too long They just turned and walzed away, what could he say [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/tyla-j-pallas/348207.html ] She was just a victim of her uncle's ways That the town saw through a haze A respected man with a crown of wealth and fame An Petie was just a kid Wrapped in black skin So his blood didn't flow the same so some white folks claimed He tried to tell them that the man was bad That the big house on the edge of town held a long dark secret that threatened to bring this town down And if word got past the county line The world outside might smell a lie And their little world would get turned upside down So on that dark and fateful night Little Petie thought he was doin' right Just trying to save his best friends life But it did not appear that way The sheriff would later say We had reports of an intruder, lady, we're just doing our job Well, the line said "do not cross" I saw his hand from under the cloth I never really thought it would end this way They tried to break him in two Distort the truth Avert whatever he said so it came out wrong The town that would never change The town that would never change The town that would never change The town that would never change The town that would never change |
