_ _ _ _ I [A] was a child, [G] a weary child, [D]
down [A] in western _ Kentucky, where my parents were born.
_ _ [D] _ _
[A] There's a backwards old tale that I [G] often _ [A] remember, _ so many times that my memories are [D] worn. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Today, won't you take me back to _ Muhlenberg County, down [A] by the Green River, where it
can hurt that's plain.
[D] _ _ _ I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, [A] Mr.
_ Peabody's cold train, I'll wait anyway. _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sometimes we'd travel right [G] down the Green [D] River, to the abandoned old prison down by
[A]
83 [D] Hill, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ where the air smelled like snakes, and [G] we'd shoot with our [D] pistols, but empty
pop bottles was [A] all that we [D] cared. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then _ won't you take me back to _ Muhlenberg County, down by the Green River, where [A] it
can hurt [D] that's plain.
_ _ _ I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, _ Mr.
_ Peabody's cold train, [A] _ I'll wait [D] anyway. _

Then the cold come and came, with the world's [G] largest [D] shot, where they tortured the timber
and they [A] stripped all the [D] land. _ _ _ _ _
They dug for the coal, till [G] the land was [D] forsaken, and then they wrote it all down, _ as a [A] progress of [D] man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then won't you take me back to _ _ Muhlenberg County, down by the Green River, where it
[A] can hurt that's [D] plain. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm sorry my son, [G] but you're too [D] late in asking, Mr.
_ Peabody's cold train, [A] I'll wait _ [D] anyway. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now when the dyes in my ashes float [G] down the Green [A] River, and leave my soul alone, yeah,
to the Rochester day, [D] _
_ _ _ I'll be halfway to heaven, with [G] paradise _ [A] away, _ just five miles away from _ wherever [D] I_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] Then won't you take me back to [G] _ _ [D] Muhlenberg County, down by the Green River, where [A]
paradise [D] is there. _ _ _
I'm sorry my son, but you're [G] too late in [D] asking, Mr. _
Peabody's cold train, I'll [A] wait anyway.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ Mr.
_ Peabody's cold train, I'll wait anyway. _ _ _ _ _
Mr.
_ Peabody's cold train, _ [A] I'll wait _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ anyway. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I want to thank you all for coming out tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Big thank you to [A] Arnie the Frog, [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Old James Shaking Legs Jameson, big thanks man.
