Verse 1
(E major) (A major) (D major) (G major) Years ago
grandaddy
Baxter gave dad 40 acres
Daddy (D major) proudly named it Bax
(E major) ter Hill
Him and Mom raised seven kids
And gave us each 1 acre
In (D major) hopes someday that's where
we all would build
Daddy's greatest dream in life was
Baxter Hill
Verse 2
The rest all moved away (D major) but
I (G major) stayed on with (D major) mo m and daddy
But they all gathered in when Mama
died
(A major) They were quick decid (D major) in'
papa couldn't (F sharp major) handle busi (F major) ness
And (D major) the six of them all (B major)
(D major) said (E major) let's (D sharp major) subdivide
You could (D major) see (E major) (D major) them dollar
(G major) bill signs in their eyes

Verse 3
Yeah, they subdivided daddy's forty acres The (D major)
place where him and (E major) mama
worked and saved
Not out of need,
just out of greed
They built them six room houses
Bet mama's turnin' over in her
(D major) grave
Just knowin' they've
Verse 4
done papa this away
(D major) Well, they agreed that I could keep
The acre papa gave me
So I left that old house standin'
where it was
And just a few days (G major) later
Them big (D major) old yellow (E major) graders
Started (D major) (E major) (A major) (D major) pushing up the
ground my (G major) daddy loved
Tearin' up everything that
he'd dreamed of
Verse 5
Now papa didn't say (D major) much
He just sat there on the (E major) front porch
And watched them big bulldozers
rape his fields
He'd look straight ahead
And say I know your mama's dead
But she'll be comin' back to Baxter
Hill
And she'll (D major) rattle chains in every room they
build
Yeah, they subdidvided daddy's forty acres
Verse 6
But (D major)
the houses
stand there empty,cold and still
They sold a few, but the people moved
And swore they'd never come
back
Papa just grins and says (G major) they never will
While your Mama walks on Baxter (D major) Hill
Verse 7
Yeah, (D major) Mama (E major) walks at night on (D major)
Baxter Hill (E major) (D sharp major) (D major)
