[Primeira Parte]

          F#11
This is a first rate town
F#11
But all you ever notice
F#11
Are the ways it's stretched too far
           B4
And it has been knocked down
B4
But some of us are still
B4
Left here between the scars
         F#11
When you look around
F#11
All you ever notice is
F#11
That you can not see the stars
          B4
This is a first rate town, a first rate town you know
B4
You just can't see very far

[Refrão]

F#11
You can never leave
F#11
'Cause they'll hold it against me
B4
You can never leave
B4
'Cause they'll hold it against me
F#11
You can never leave
F#11
'Cause they'll hold it against me
B4
You can never leave

[Segunda Parte]

         F#11
When the last door closed
F#11
You packed your clothes
F#11
And went back to Montreal
            B4
Said it was colder there
B4
A chill hangs into the air
B4
It helps you forget it all
    G#m
You left and empty bookshelf
G#m
That I did not fill till fall
          Bmaj13
This is a first rate town a first rate town you know
Bmaj13
You just can't see it at all

[Refrão]

F#11
You can never leave
F#11
'Cause they'll hold it against me
B4
You can never leave
B4
'Cause they'll hold it against me
F#11
You can never leave
F#11
'Cause they'll hold it against me
B4
You can never leave

[Ponte]

     D#m/G#  F#11
Well it will fade
  B4
As all things must
  D#m/G#    F#11
I loved you but
    B4
You didn't love
Me enough
D#m/G# F#11
Winter comes, the
B4
Car will rust
     G#m
I'll start it up
     Bmaj13
Then always run a little rough

[Terceira Parte]

          F#11
This is a first rate town
F#11
And all you ever notice
F#11
Are the ways it's stretched too far

They keep the
B4
Death rates down
B4
It's colder than a winter
B4
Spent in defrosting cars
   G#m
We talked a lot of leaving
G#m
Didn't think you'd get that far
          Bmaj13
This is a first rate town a first rate town
You know

You just can't see
      F#11
 Very far
