[C#] [F#] [C#]
[G#m] [C#]
I was a child, my family would travel to western Kentucky [G#m] where my [C#] parents were born
Backwoods old town, it's often remembered, so many times that my [G#m] [C#] memories are worn
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, by the green river [G#] where [C#] paradise lay
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr.
Peabody's coal [G#] train has hauled [C#] it away
Sometimes
[F#] [C#]
[G#m] [C#]
we'd travel down the green river to the abandoned old prison [G#] down [C#] by Adra Hill
The air smelled like snakes, we'd shoot with our pistols, but empty pop bottles was [G#] all we [C#] would kill
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, by the green river [G#] where [C#] paradise lay
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr.
Peabody's coal train [G#] has hauled [C#] it away
The [C#]
[G#m] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[G#m] [C#]
coal company came with the world's largest shovel, they tortured the timber [G#] and stripped [C#] off the land
They dug through their coal, till the land was forsaken, and wrote it all down as the [G#m] progress [C#] of man
Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, by the green river where paradise lay
I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr.
Peabody's coal [G#] train has hauled it [C#] away

Peabody's coal [G#] train has hauled it [C#] away
