Tonart: D major
Verse 1
A
E
my family would travel down to western Kentucky
B

where my parents were born.
There's a backwards old town

that my memories are worn.
And daddy, won't you take me back
A
E
B
to Muhlenberg County
E
Down by the green river
B

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

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

B

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

let's hold it away
B

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

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

Now when I die would my ashes
A

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