	D	G	D
	When I was a child my	family would	travel

	A7	D
Down to Western Kentucky where my	parents were	born

	G	D
And there's a backward old town that's	often	remembered

	A7	D
So many times that my	mem'ries are	worn

	D	G	D
	And daddy, won't you take me back to	Muhlenberg	County

	A7	D
Down by the Green River where	Paradise	lay

	G	D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your	too late in	askin'

	A7	D
Mister Peabody's train has	hauled it	away

	D	G	D
	Well, sometimes we'd travel right	down the Green	River

	A7	D
To the abandoned old prison down	by Adrie	Hill

	G	D
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd	shoot with our

pistols

	A7	D
But empty pop bottles was	all we would	kill

	D	G	D
	And daddy, won't you take me back to	Muhlenberg	County

	A7	D
Down by the Green River where	Paradise	lay

	G	D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your	too late in	askin'

	A7	D
Mister Peabody's train has	hauled it	away

	D	G	D
	The coal company came with the	world's largest	shovel

	A7	D
And they tortured the timber and	stripped all the	land

	G	D
Well, they dug for the coal 'till the	land was	forsaken

	A7	D
Then they wrote it all down as the	progress of	man

	D	G	D
	And daddy, won't you take me back to	Muhlenberg	County

	A7	D
Down by the Green River where	Paradise	lay

	G	D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your	too late in	askin'

	A7	D
Mister Peabody's train has	hauled it	away

	D	G	D
	When I die let my ashes float	down the Green	River

	A7	D
Let my soul roll on up to the	Rochester	Dam

	G	D
I'll be halfway to heaven with	Paradise	waiting

	A7	D
Just five miles away from where	ever I	am

	D	G	D
	And daddy, won't you take me back to	Muhlenberg	County

	A7	D
Down by the Green River where	Paradise	lay

	G	D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but your	too late in	askin'

	A7	D
Mister Peabody's train has	hauled it	away
