[Intro 1]
[G][D]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Down in the boondocks,
[C]down in the boondocks
[D]People put me down
because [C]every side of town
I [G]was born, yeah
I love her, she loves me,
but [C]I don't fit in her society
[D]Lord have mercy on a [C]boy
who died in the [G]bullet time
Every night I watch the light
from the [C]house up on the [G]hill
I love a little [D]girl who [Em]lives up there
and I [B]guess I always [Em]will
But [C]I don't dare knock o[D]n her door,
[C]daddy is my boss [D]man
So [C]I'll just have to [D]be content
to [C]see her whenever I [D]can
[G]Down in the blue tide,
[C]down in the blue tide
[D]People put me down,
they [C]said society I was [G]born in
I love her, she loves me,
[C]I don't think her society
[D]Lord have mercy on the [C]boy
who died [G]in the middle of time
Play [C]it now[G][D][E][B]
[E][Em][C][D][C][D]
[C][D][C][D][G][C]
[D][C][G][C]
[D][C][G]
Now one bright day
I'll find a way to [C]move
from this old [G]shack
I'll hold my [D]head up [Em]like a king
and I never [B]ever will look [E]back
[Em]Until [C]that morning I wou[D]ldn't sleep
and [C]I'll save every [D]dime
But to[C]night she'll have to [D]steal away,
[C]see me one [D]more time
[G]Down in the boondock,
[C]down in the boondock
[D]People put me down
cause [C]there's a side of town I [G]was born in
I love her, she loves me,
[C]I don't fit her society
[D]Lord have mercy on the [C]boy
from down in the [G]boondocks
Oh, down in the boondocks
Oh, [C]down in the boondocks
[D]People put me down
cause [C]that's the side of town I [G]was born in
I love her, she loves me,
[C]I'm gonna create a society
[D]Lord have mercy on the [C]boy
from down in the [G]blue town
[D]Lord have mercy on the [C]boy
from down in the [G]blue town
[D][C][G][D][G][G]
I'd just like to say
there'll never be nothing

[Outro 1]
