[Intro]
G C G G D G G C G G D G F G
[Verse 1]
G C G
When I was a child my family would travel
D G
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
G C G
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
G D G
So many times that my memories are worn
[Verse 2]
G C G
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
G D G
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
G C G
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
G D G
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
[Chorus]
G C G
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
G D G
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G C G
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
G D G
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
[Interlude]
G C G G D G
[Verse 3]
G C G
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
G D G
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
G C G
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
G D G
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
[Chorus]
G C G
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
G D G
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G C G
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
G D G
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
[Interlude]
G C G G D G G C G G D G F G
[Verse 4]
G C G
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
G D G
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
G C G
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
G D G
Just five miles away from wherever I am
[Chorus]
G C G
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
G D G
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G C G
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
G D G
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
G D G
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
G D G
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
