    • Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    a 
    child, 

    my 
    family 
    would 
    travel 
    down 
    to 
    western 

    Kentucky 
    where 
    my 
    parents 

    were born 

    There's 
    a backwards 
    old 
    town 

    that's 
    often 
    remembered 

    So 
    many 
    times 
    that 

    my memories 
    are worn 

    Dad, 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 
    to 

    Muhlenberg 

    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 

    Green 

    River 
    where 
    paradise 
    lay 

    He 
    said, I'm 
    sorry, 
    my son, 

    but you're 
    too late 

    And ask 
    him if 
    the 

    Peabody's 
    coal 
    train 
    has 
    hauled 
    it 
    away 

    Well, 
    sometimes 
    we'd 

    travel 
    right 
    down 
    the 

    Green 

    River

    To 
    the 
    abandoned 
    old 
    prison 
    down 
    by 

    Avery 

    Hill 

    Where 
    the 
    air 
    smelled 
    like 
    snakes, 

    we'd 
    shoot 
    with 
    our 
    pis
    tols 

    And 
    empty 
    pop 
    bottles 

    was 
    all 
    we 
    would 
    kill 

    Dad, 
    won't you take 
    me 
    back 
    to 

    Muhlenberg 

    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 

    Green 

    River 
    where 
    paradise 
    reigns 

    I 
    said, 
    I'm sorry, 
    my 
    son, 

    but 
    you're 
    too 
    late 
    in 
    ask
    ing 

    Mr. 

    Peabody's 
    coal 
    train 
    has hauled 
    it 

    away 



    When 
    the 
    coal 
    company 
    came 
    with 

    the 
    world's 
    largest 
    shovel 

    They 
    tortured 
    the 
    timber 

    and 
    stripped 
    all 
    the land 

    He 
    dug 
    for 
    the coal 
    until 

    the land 
    was forsaken 

    He 
    wrote 
    it all 
    down 
    as 
    a 
    progress 
    man 

    Dad 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 
    to 

    Muhlenberg 

    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the green 
    river 

    where 
    paradise 
    was 
    laid 

    I 
    said I'm 
    sorry 
    my 
    son 

    but you're 
    too 
    late 

    To 
    be 
    my 
    ice -cold 
    train 

    that's 
    hauled 
    in 
    a 
    wave 

    When 
    I 
    die, 
    my ashes 
    float 

    down 
    the green 
    river

    Let 
    my 
    soul roll 
    on 
    up 
    to 
    the 

    Rochester 
    dam 

    And 
    I'll be 
    halfway 
    to 
    heaven, 

    but 
    para
    dise 
    is 
    waiting 

    Just 
    five 
    miles 
    away 
    from 
    wherever 
    I 
    am 

    Dad, 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 
    to 

    Muhlenberg

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
