Key: D major
Verse 1
my family would travel down to western Kentucky
A
D
where my parents were born.
There's a backwoods old town
there that's often remembered,
so many times that my
A
D
memories are worn.
D
A
where paradise lays
but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train
A

G
A
D
has hauled it away
Sometimes we'd float on
down the Green River
By the old abandoned prison
A
D
down by Adria Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes
and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles
A
D
was all we would kill
D
A
where paradise lay
but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal trans
A
D
A
D
ported away
Then the coal company came with
the world's largest shovel
They tortured the timber
A
D
and stripped all the land
They dug for the coal
till the land was forsaken
And wrote it all down to
A
D
the progress of man
D
A
where paradise lay
but you're too late in asking
Mr. Peabody's coal train has
A
D
A
D
hauled it away
When I die, let my ashes flow on
down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to
A
D
the Rochester Dales
I'll be halfway to heaven
with paradise waiting
A
D
Just five miles away from wherever I am
D
A
where paradise lays
but you're too late in asking
D
A
Mr. Peabody's cold train is haunted away
A
D
is haunted away
