[G] [C]
[G]
Wish that I was on old Rocky [Em] Top down in [G] the Tennessee hills
Ain't no [C] smoggy smoke on [G] Rocky Top, ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, half bear, the other half cat
Wild as a mink and sweet as soda [Em] pop, I still [G] dream about that
[Em] Rocky Top, [D] you'll always [F] be home sweet [C] home to me
Good [G] old Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky [F] Top, [G] Tennessee
Watch [C]
[G] [Em] [G]
[C]
[G]
two [C] strangers climb [G] old Rocky Top, looking for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't [C] come down [G] from Rocky [Em] Top, I reckon [D] they [G] never will
Corn won't grow [C] at all [G] on Rocky Top, dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their kicks from a jar
[Em] Rocky Top, [D] you'll always [F] be home sweet home to [C]
me
Good [G] old Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee, Rocky [F] Top, [G] Tennessee
Well, [C] [G]
[Em] [D] [G]
[C] [G]
[Em] [D] [G]
I've had years of cramp up city life, trapped like a duck in a pen
And all I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again
[Em] Rocky Top, [D] you'll always [F] be home sweet [C] home to me
Good [G] old Rocky Top, Rocky [F] Top, [G] Tennessee, Rocky Top, Tennessee
Rocky Top, Tennessee
