Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor) Down
(C major) in the boondocks
Down in (F major) the boondocks
Lord (G major) have mercy on a (F major) girl
From down in the boondocks (C major)
Every night I watch the light
From the (F major) house up on the hill
(C major) I love the little boy who (A minor) lives up there
I (E major) guess I always will
(A minor) But (F major) I don't dare knock (G major) on his door,
cause (F major) his dad is my boss man (G major)
So (F major) I'll just have to (G major) be content,
to (F major) see him whenever I (G major) can
Down (C major) in the boondocks, yeah,
(F major) down in the boondocks
You know (G major) people put me down,
cause that's (F major) the side of town I was (C major) born in
I love him, he loves me,
but I (F major) just don't fit in his society
Lord (G major) have mercy on a (F major) girl
from down in the (C major) boondocks (D major)
One fine day I'll find a way
to (G major) move from this old shack (D major)
I'll hold my head up (B minor) like a queen
and (F sharp minor) never, never, never look (B minor) back
Un (G major) til the mornin' I'll (A major) work and save,
(G major) I'll save every dime
(A major) But to (G major) night he's gonna
have to (A major) slip away
and (G major) see me one more time (A major)
Down (D major) in the boondocks, yeah,
yeah, down (G major) in the boondocks
You know people (A major) put me down
for such (G major) a side of town I was (D major) born in
Oh, you see, I love him, he loves me,
but I (G major) just don't fit in his society
Lord (A major) have mercy on a (G major) girl
from down in the (D major) boondocks
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Lord (A major) have mercy on a (G major) girl
from down in the (D major) boondocks
Lord, Lord,
Lord (A major) have mercy on a (G major) girl
from down in the (D major) boondocks
