Misc Originals – Bobby Clay - Uphill To Us (Guitar)

D
Out here on this mountain

C
Its lonely as hell

G
the poverty is thick

D
like the Kingsport Tennessee Air

D
Theres no work for me

C
Most around are poor

G
and the government dont give a damn

 D
about the life we're fighting for

D
We've been hearing round

C
for damn near a year

G
that the blues and reds are evil

D
I dont think the have ever been here

C
Everythings uphill to us

D
Everydays a fight

C
Im done crawling in the mud for them

D
cause you know this shit aint right

C
They dont miss a paycheck

D
they dont miss a meal

C
while the mountain people struggle

G                     D
Where everythings all up hill

D
If I had six hundred dollars

C
Id take my luck elsewhere

G
Maybe I was born plain trash

D
and I know that life aint fair

D
I see the fire on the mountain

C
I can feel the lightning too

G
We just live on empty words

D
and promisses that dont go through

D
Seems they just forgot

C
Or they never really see

G
What it like in a coal town

D
or to grow up in Grundy

C
Everythings uphill to us

D
Everydays a fight

C
Im done crawling in the mud for them

D
cause you know this shit aint right

C
They dont miss a paycheck

D
they dont miss a meal

C
while the mountain people struggle

G                     D
Where everythings all up hill

D
60 billion dollars sent

C
to a country with a name I can’t say

G
As I watch our country folk

D
Starving every day

D
You can bet with the rising Sun

C
You can take this to the bank

G
Appalachia people might just drowned 

D
But Ukrainian gonna get paid

C
Everythings uphill to us

D
Everydays a fight

C
Im done crawling in the mud for them

D
cause you know this shit aint right

C
They dont miss a paycheck

D
they dont miss a meal

C
while the mountain people struggle

G                     D
Where everythings all up hill
