_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Down in the boondocks, [D] down in the boondocks
[E] People put me down [D] from that side of town [A] I was born in
I _ love her, so she loves me [D] But I don't get to her society
[E] Lord have mercy [D] on a boy from down [A] in the boondocks
_ _ Every night I watch the light [D] from the house up on [A] the hill
I love a little [D] girl that lives up there [Db] And I guess I [Gbm] always will
[D] But I don't [Em] dare knock on her door [D] Or the daddy of [E] all men
[D] So I'll just [E] have to be content [D] To see her whenever [E] I [A] can
Down in the boondocks, [D] down in the boondocks
[E] People put me [D] down from that side of town [A] I was born in
_ I love her, so she loves me [D] But I don't get to her society
[E] Lord have mercy [D] on a boy from down [A] in the boondocks
Down _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
One fine day I'll find a way [Eb] To move from this [Bb] old shack
I'll hold my head [Eb] up like a king [D] And I never, never will [Gm] look back
[Eb] Until that morning [F] I'll work in slate [Eb] And I'll save [F] every dime
[Eb] But tonight she'll have [F] to sleep away [Eb] To see me one [F] more time
[Bb] Down in the boondocks, [Eb] down in the boondocks
[F] People put me down [Eb] from that side of [Bb] town I was born in
She _ _ loves me, [Eb] but I don't live in her society
[F] Lord have mercy [Eb] on a boy from down [Bb] in the boondocks
_ [F] Lord [Ebm] have mercy on a boy from [Bb] down in the boondocks
_ [F] Lord [Eb] have mercy on [Bb] a boy from down in the boondocks _ _ _ _ _ _
