C5                   Bb5
I was born in a bunk

C5        Bb5    C5              Bb5
Mama died and my daddy got drunk

C5           Bb5 C5          Bb5 C5
Left me here to  die or grow

N.C.                          Bb5
In the middle of Tobacco Road

[Verse 2]

C5          Bb5 C5            Bb5 C5
I grew up in    a dusty shack

              Bb5   C5                Bb5 C5
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back

         Bb5 C5           Bb5 C5
Only you know how I loathe

N.C. This place called Tobacco Road [Bridge]

N.C.     F5
But it's home

                        C5
The only life I've ever known

                    F5
Only you know how I loathe

N.C.      C5  Ab5  C5
Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave    and get a job

With the help and the grace from above

C5                  Bb5 C5         Bb5 C5
Save some money, get    rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane

            Bb5       C5        Bb5 C5
Blow it up, start all over again

              Bb5 C5             Bb5 C5
Build a town, be   proud to show

N.C. Give the name Tobacco Road [Bridge]

N.C.       F5
Cause it's home

                        C5
The only life I've ever known
