Paradise Everly Brothers
] ] ] ] ] ] +] ]]+]]]]] [D]When I was a child my family would[G] travel[D]
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born[A7] [D]
And theres a backwards old town thats often remembered[G] [D]
So many times that my memories are wo[A7]rn[D]
CHORUS
[D]And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenburg County[G] [D]
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay[A7] [D]
Well I'm sorry my son but your too late in asking[G] [D]
Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away[A7] [D]
[D]Well sometimes we'd travel right down the green[G] river[D]
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill[A7] [D]
[G]Where[D] the air smelt like snakes that we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would ki[A7]ll[D]
REPEAT CHORUS
[D] [G] [D]Then the coal company came with the worlds largest shovel
And they tortured the timbers and stripped all the l[A7]and[D]
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was for[G]saken[D]
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man[A7] [D]
REPEAT CHORUS
[D]When I die, let my ashes float down the Gree[G]n River[D]
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam[A7] [D]
I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waiti[G]ng[D]
Just five miles away from wherever I am[A7] [D]
REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE
