[Verse]
Em
My father painted houses
C
In the small town where we lived
Em
When we drove through town he would point to a house and say
C
That's one that I did
Em
The season's best was summer
C
For all that it would give
G D Em
And it gave us everything, we'd ever need
C D Em
Gave us everything we'd ever need
[Verse]
Em
So I'd work for the old man every summer
C
From the age of fourteen years
Em
Once a big white house took a six man crew
C
We split up the work in pairs
Em
The old man and I climbed to the highest peak
C
Of a big house on Fort Hill
G
As we looked across the city
D
As the sun set on the mill, he said
[Chorus]
C D
Don't it seem like you're never gonna leave
Em
And get out on your own
C
Don't it seem when your young
D Em
That time goes by so slow
Em
Remember when you're down and you're far away
C
This place where we were born
G D
You know you're gonna take that with you
Em
Everywhere you go
C D Em
Gonna take it with you everywhere you go
[Verse]
Em
In the backyard we burnt out the paintpots
