East Of Gary

G  Em  C  C
Am C/G Em Em

[Verse 1]
   G             Em            
I grew up on the Indiana side of 
     C    C
Chicago
         Am                 C/G   
With the rusty steel mills 
                  Em   Em
belching in the westward wind
          G           Em      
I watched Mom and Dad trying to 
              C         C
clean their sorrows
        Am                 C/G    
With my brothers and me at old 
       Em  Em
Lake Michigan

[Chorus]
                 D
There's a little boy
                   Em
He's got big brown eyes
                  D
He's got swimming trunks
                A
‘bout twice his size
                        D
Yeah he's looking at a steel mill 
sunset
           Em
Skipping a stone,
          C            C/E     Am
"Hey boy,  ain't you a little 
      G  D
young to   feel so alone?"

[Verse 2]
           G                  
Well they changed the name of my 
Em                  C
hometown when we moved away
          Am                 
Now it's more than words that I 
C/G              Em
don't recognize
     D/F#            G            
That kid down at the filling 
           Em             C
station tried to keep my change from
 a twenty
        Am               C/G      
I could see that cold assurance in
     Em
 his eyes

[Verse 3]
                 D              
Hey you need ten dollars for the 
       Em
rainy day?
                     D             
Yeah save and go to college or just
       A
 get away get away get away
             C          D         
Or you could spend that money on a
         Em
 two-day stone
    C         C/E          Am    
Oh, there are worse things in 
   G         D
this world than   being alone let me
 tell you now...

[Verse 4]
              G            Em     
So, if you're driving from 
          C
Chicago, east of Gary
        Am            C/G         
And you find a fallen town that 
      Em
has two names
         G            Em     
There'll be no one to possibly 
        C
remember
  Am                         C/G  
A little lonesome brown-eyed boy 
           Em
who went by James

[Chorus]
                   D
Oh the mill's shut down
                    Em
But the air's still sour
                D
You get a hotel room
                     A
You gotta pay by the hour
                D
Oh the good old days
                     Em
They're just good and gone
             C     C/E   Am      
Like autumn leaves          on a 
G        D
burning lawn

[Otro]
       G       D/F#   Em      D 
Yeah I grew up on the Indiana 
          C
side of Chicago
          Am                       
With the rusty steel mills belching
                 Em
 in the westward wind
