Luke Bryan, "We Run This Town"
Here are the chord fingering that I use. I do not use a Dbm for poor theory, but
rather to note the different fingerings. This song is divided between acoustic and
electric guitar, the first verse and the bridge are acoustic, but the rest of the
song is played with power chords on an electric.

Esus E, C#m B,
(verse)
[A]Seven[E]teen, we [C#m]owned those [B]streets
[A]Parking lot, [E]that was our spot
That?s [C#m]where we?d always [B]meet
And we?d [A]roll on [E]out in a [C#m]pickup truck pa[B]rade
Stake our [A]claim with a fire in a [E]field in the middle of [C#m]Nowhere,
[B]USA.[A] [E] [C#m] We?d light the m[B]idnight u[G#m]p
(chorus)
We'd [A]drive too [E]fast
We'd [Dbm]get too [B]loud
We [A]thought we [E]made the [Dbm]world go ?[B]round [G#m]
[A] Nothin? but a bunch of [E]time to kill
[Dbm] Set up on the [B]big hill
[A] Make a toast,[E] drink it down
Say, [Dbm] yeah man, we [B]run this town
(instrumental)
[A] [E] [Dbm] [B] [G#m]
(verse)
All the [A]girls next [E]door
They?d [Dbm]meet us out [B]there
[A] They couldn?t wait[E] to get away
And come and [Dbm]let down their [B]hair
We were [A]rough around the [E]edges
They were [Dbm]sweet as they could [B]be
They were [A]way too good
But they [E]still let us steal a little [Dbm]kiss before they?d [B]leave [A][E][Dbm]
Guess they thought we were [B]cool beca[G#m]use
(chorus)
We'd [A]drive too [E]fast
We'd [Db]get too [B]loud
We [A]thought we [E]made the [Dbm]world go ?[B]round [G#m]
[A] Drop it down in [E]four wheel
[Dbm] Set up on the [B]big hill
[A] Make a toast,[E] drink it down
Say, [Dbm] yeah man, we [B]run this town
(bridge)
[C#m]From crazy kids, [B] to dirt road kings
[A] [E]Oh, we didn?t know nothin'
[B] But we knew every[A]thi[E]-i-[Dbm]i-in[B]g
(chorus-out)
We'd [A]drive too [E]fast
We'd [Dbm]get too [B]loud
We [A]thought we [E]made the [Dbm]world go ?[B]round [G#m]
[A] Nothin? but a bunch of [E]time to kill
[Dbm] Set up on the [B]big hill
[A] Make a toast,[E] drink it down
Say, [Dbm] yeah man, we [B]run this town
[A] High five[E] and look around
[Dbm] Damn right[B], we run this town
