Tom: D
D G D
When I was a child my fam'ly would travel
A7 D
down to Western Kentucky, where my parents were born
G D
and there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
A7 D
so many times that my mem'ries are worn
(Chorus)
D G D
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
A D
down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G D
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
A7 D
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
D G D
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
A D
to the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
D G
where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our
D
rifles
A7 D
but empty pop bottles was all we would kill
(to chorus)
D G D
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
D A D
and they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
D G
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forgotten
A7 D
then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
(to chorus)
D G D
When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River
A D
let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
D G D
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting
A7 D
just five miles away from wherever I am
(to chorus)
