PARADISE

A D A
When I was a child my family would travel
E A
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
D A
To a backwards old town I often remembered
E A
So many times that my memories are worn
A D A
Than, sometimes we'd travel on down the Green River
E A
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrian Hill
D A
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
E A
But empty pop bottles was all that we?d kill

A D A
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
E A
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
D A
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
E A
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
A D A
Well the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
E A
They stripped all the timber and tortured the land
D A
They dug for the coal till the land was forsaken
E A
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

A D A
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
E A
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
D A
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
E A
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"

A D A
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
E A
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
D A
I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin'
E A
Five miles away from wherever I am
A D A
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
E A
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
D A
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
E A
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
D A
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
E A
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
