Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (D major) (A minor) Down
(C major) in the boondocks
Down in (F major) the boondocks
Down (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 in (F major) stead it's 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
Down (F major) in the boondocks
You know people (G major) put me down
Cause (F major) that's the side of town I was (C major) born in
I love him and he loves me
But I (F major) just don't fit in his society
Lord (G major) have mercy on the (F major) girl
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 stuff
(G major) just outta town I was (D major) born in
Oh, you see, I love him, he loves me
But that (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, 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
