PARADISE
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
When I was a child my family would travel
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
To a backwards old town I often remembered
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So many times that my memories are worn
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Than, sometimes we'd travel on down the Green River
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrian Hill
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But empty pop bottles was all that we?d kill
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Well the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
They stripped all the timber and tortured the land
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
They dug for the coal till the land was forsaken
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin'
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Five miles away from wherever I am
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Down by the green river where paradise lay?"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
