I'm not going to throw this one.
Basically, Woody Guthrie mixed up with Bob Dylan.
I'm the best singer in the whole world.
You're on the same New [F] York Braveway.
Green Wave.
Wayne Brave.
Wayne Brave.
Wayne Bravey.
All right, this is what they call me.
[Bb] [F]
I was a [Bb] child when my [F] family was strapped
in a Western Kentucky.
And my parents lived in backwards [Bb] old towns.
And we have [F] all been remembering so many times
that the memories are warm.
Daddy, won't [Bb] you take me back to [F] Muhlenberg County,
down by the Green River, where the paradise lay?
Sorry, my [Bb] son, but you're too [F] late in asking.
He bought his coal train to haul it away.
[Bb]
[F]
Sometimes we [Bb] travel right down the [F] Green River.
And an old prison on April Hill.
The air smells like [Bb] snakes, and we shoot with [F] our pistols.
But empty pot bottles is all that we fill.
Daddy, won't you [Bb] take me back to [F] Muhlenberg County,
down by the Green River, [C] where [F] paradise lay?
Well, sorry, my [Bb] son, but you're [F] too late in asking.
He bought his coal train to haul it away.
[Bb] [F]
Well, the coal company [Bb] came with the world's [F] largest shovel.
And forgered the timber, [C] stripped [F] all the land.
And cut it all [Bb] down, looking [F] for that gold.
And they wrote it all down as a progress man.
Daddy, won't you take me [Bb] back to [F] Muhlenberg County,
down by the Green River, where paradise lay?
Well, sorry, [Fm] my son, [C] but you're too [F] late in asking.
He bought his coal train to haul it away.
[Bb]
[F]
I let my ass flow down the Green River.
Then roll up on north to the [C] Rochester [F] Dam.
I'll be halfway to heaven with the paradise wing.
It's five miles away [C] from where [F] ever I am.
So, Daddy, won't [Bb] you take me back to [F] Muhlenberg County,
down by the Green River, where paradise lay?
Sorry, my [Bb] son, but you're too [F] late in asking.
He bought his coal train to haul it away.
He bought his coal train to haul it away.
[N]
He bought his coal train to haul
