[Verse 1]
  G               C      G
I wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top,

Em          D         G
down in the Tennessee hills;

      G               C        G
There ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top;

Em        D         G
Don't pay telephone bills;

    G                  C      G
And corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top

Em         D        G
Dirt's too rocky by far

G                  C        G
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top

Em          D           G
Drink their corn from a jar
[Chorus]
Em                D
Rocky Top, you'll always be

F                  C
home sweet home to me;

C        G
Good ol' Rocky Top;

Em         D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee;

Em         D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee.
[Verse 2]
    G              C          G
Now I had years of cramped up city life

Em             D        G  
Trapped like a dog in a pen

G             C      G
All I know is it's a pity

     Em       D       G
Life can't be simple again

    G            C       G
And once I had a girl on Rocky Top;

Em             D          G
Half bear, the other half cat

G                   C        G
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop,

    Em      D           G
And I still dream about that
[Chorus]
Em N.C.
Rocky Top, you'll always be
home sweet home to me;
C        G
Good ol' Rocky Top;

Em         D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee;

Em         D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee.
