VERSE:
D                      C                         D
Getting work ain't easy in the hills of Tennessee
D                          C                           D
But things are bad all over my friends keep telling me
C                                     G
Even though I grew up there and never thought I'd leave
C                          G
Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed
C                      G                E7    A,stop
Movin' to the city was all that I could do   
                          D 
Got them hillbilly blues

(OVER VERSE CHORDS)
People here won't say goodmorning, they won't even take the time
I guess I know just how it feels to have something on your mind
So all I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream
This ol' life I'm living Lord, you know it ain't for me
They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Got them hillbilly blues
