Intro: E-B-EE
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.
ChorusE
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.
