Intro: E-B-E

E
It seems like years and a million tears
                             B
Since you've left the old hometown.

Now you've changed they say and the great white way
                       E
Is your new stomping ground.

Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me
                           A
'Cause you never write or call.
B
But I'll be around when they let you down
                             E
And I'll catch you when you fall.

Chorus

E
Well I'll catch you when you fall
  B  
There's no one else but you.

Now, you're riding high but honey by and by
                                  E
You're gonna cry for love that's true.

And when you're uptown baby
                        A
Starts giving you the stall.
 B
Well I'll be around when they let you down
                             E
And I'll catch you when you fall.

(Solo  E-B-E-A-B-E) 

E
Well, theyve turned your head, cause I've heard it said
                          B
You're ashamed of us back home.

But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound
                         E
Still chills you to the bone.

With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes
                         A
You arent fooling me at all.
B
When you're feeling bad this ol' country lad
                        E
Is gonna catch you you fall.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Solo E-B-E-A-B-E) 

(Repeat Chorus)

B
Well I'll be around when they let you down
                             E
And I'll catch you when you fall.
