Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
G
D
my family would travel down to western Kentucky
A
D
where my parents were born.
There's a backwards old town

that's often remembered
A

that my memories are worn.
And daddy, won't you take me back
G
D

to Muhlenberg County
D
Down by the green river
A

where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son,
G

but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train

A
D
has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel
G
D
right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison
A
D
down by a drill
Where the air smelled like snakes
G
D
and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
A
D
was all we would kill
Daddy, won't you take me back
G
D
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
G
D
but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's core changes,
A

A
D
let's hold it away
A
D
Then the coal company come
G
D
with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber
A
D
and stripped all the lamb
And they dug for the coal
G
D
till the land was forsaken
They wrote it all down as
A
D
a progress man
Daddy won't you take me back
G
D
to Mutenberg County
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
G

but you're too late in askin'
A
Mr. Peabody's coach train is holdin'
D

Now when I die would my ashes
G

float down the green river
And let my soul roll on up
D
I'll be half way to heaven
D
A
D
Just five miles away from wherever I am
And then won't you take me back
G
D
to Muhlenberg County
A
Down by the green river with paradise away
G
D
but you're too late in askin'
A
Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin' away
D

Mr. Peabody's court train is holdin'
