I could do with the lyrics corrected

I want to tell you [C]about my hometown
It's a [G]dusty old jewel in the South Puget [D]Sound
Well the [G]factories churn and the [C]timbers all cut down
and [G]life goes by slow in [D]Taco[G]ma

[G]People they laugh when they [C]hear your from my town
They [G]say its a sour and used up all [D]place
I [G]defended its honor, [C]shrugged off the put downs
you [G]know that you're poor, from [D]Taco[G]ma

[G]Buildings are empty like [C]ghettos or ghost-towns
It [G]gives me a chill to think what was in[D]side
I [G]can't seem to fathom the [C]dark of my history
I [G]invented my own in [D]Taco[G]ma

[G]There was nothing to put me in [C]love with the good life
I'm in [G]league with the guns, the gangs and the [D]crime
[G]Their was no hollow promise that [C]life would reward you
[G]Their was nowhere to hide in [D]Taco[G]ma

[G]People who built it they [C]loved it like I do
Their was [G]hope in the trainyard of something in[D]spired
[G]Once was I on it, but it's [C]been painted shut
[G]I found passion for life in [D]Taco[G]ma

[G]Well I don't make it home much,[C]I sadly neglect you
[G]But thats how you like it away from the [D]world
[G]God bless California, make [C]way for the Wal-Mart
[G]I hope they don't find you [D]Taco[G]ma
