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.
