| G | G | G/D | D |
[Verse 1]
G G C G When I was a child, the family would travel G G D G G down to western Kentucky where my parents were born. G G C G There's a backwards old town that's often remembered, G G D G G so many times that my mem'ries are worn.
[Chorus]
G G C G And, daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, G G D G G down by the Green River where Paradise lays? G G C G Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, G G D G G Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
[Verse 2]
G G C G Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River G G D G G to the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill. G G C G Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols G G D G G but empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
[Chorus]
G G C G And, daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, G G D G G down by the Green River where Paradise lays? G G C G Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, G G D G G Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
[Verse 3] (ATTENTION: in recording there is only 1 G-chord at the end)
G G C G The coal company came with the world's largest shovel G G D G G and they tortured the timber and stripped all the land. G G C G And they dug for their coal 'til the land was forsaken, G G D G they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
[Chorus]
G G C G And, daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, G G D G G down by the Green River where Paradise lays? G G C G Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, G G D G G Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
[End-Chorus]
G G C G And, daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County, G G D G G down by the Green River where Paradise lays? G G C G Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking, G G D G G G G* Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
