Verse 1
D
When I was a boy,
G
D
my family would travel
Down to western Kentucky
A
D
where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town
G
that's often remembered
D
So many times that my
A
D
memories are worn
So daddy, won't you take me back
G
D
to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River
A
D
where paradise lay
But I'm sorry my son,
G
D
aren't you too late in asking
A
Mr. Peabody's cold train has stalled
D
G

it away

A
D
Sometimes we travelled
G
D
right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison
A
D
down by Edgware Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes
G
D
and we shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
A
D
was all we would kill
So daddy, won't you take me back
G
D
to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry, my son,
G
D
but you're too late in asking
A
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it
D

away

A
D
And then the coal company came
G
D
With the world's largest shovel
They tortured the timber
A
D
and stripped all the land
Then they dug for their coal
G
D
till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down
A
D
as the progress of man
G
So daddy won't you take me back
D
to Muhlenberg county
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my son
G

but you're too late in asking

A
D
When I die let my ashes float
G
D
down the green river
Like my soul rollin' up to
A
D
the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven,
G
where paradise waiting
D
A
D
Just five miles away from wherever I am
G
So daddy won't you take me back
D
to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river
A
D
where paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my son,
G
D
but you're too late in asking
A
Mr. Peabody's cold train has hauled it away
