[Verse 1]
---------------------
     D                G            D
When I was a child my family would travel
                                  A            D
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
                            G                 D
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
                        A          D
So many times that my memories are worn.

[Chorus]
---------------------
    D                            G             D
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
                              A        D
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
          D                        G          D
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
                                   A       D
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      D                           G              D
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
                                 A          D
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
      D                                    G              D
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
                          A            D
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
     D                     G                D
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
                                 A                D
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
      D                       G             D
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
                                   A           D
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.



[Verse 4]
---------------------
     D                        G              D
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
                              A          D
Let my soul roll on up to the Roches ter dam
                               G        D
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting
                             A       D
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
