Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][A][D]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Well I [D]said goodbye
to Rosie Rooke this [G]morning
I'm gonna [A]miss her
bloodshot alcoholic [D]eyes
She wore her Sunday hat so
she'd im[G]press me
I'm [A]gonna carry her memory
'til the day I die
[D]

[Verse 2]
They'll move me up to Muswell
Hill tomor[F#]row[G]
Photo[A]graphs and souvenirs are
all I've [D]got
They're gonna try and make
me change my way of [F#]living
[G]But they'll nev[A]er make me
something that I'm [D]not

[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm a [D]Muswell Hillbilly [F#]boy
[G]But my [A]heart lies in old West [D]Virginia
Never seen New Orleans,
[G]Oklahoma, Ten[F#]nesse[E]e
Still I [A]dream of the Black Hills that I ain't

[Interlude 1]
never seen
[D][G][A][D][G][F#][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 4]
They're put[E]ting us in identical little [A]boxes
No [Bb]character just uniform[Eb]ity[E]
They're trying to build a
computer[A]ized community
But they'll [B]nev[Bb]er make
a zombie out of [E]me

[Verse 5]
They'll [E]try and make me study elocu[A]tion
Be[Bb]cause they say my
accent is[B]n't [E]right
They [Eb]can clear t[E]he slums as
part of their [A]solution
But they're [B]nev[Bb]er gonna
kill my cockney pride
[E]

[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm a Muswell [Eb]Hillb[E]illy b[A]oy
But my [B]heart [Bb]lies in Old
[A]West [Eb]Vir g[E]inia
Though my hills they're not green
I [A]have seen them in my [F#m]dreams
Take [F#]me ba[Bb]ck to those Black Hills

[Interlude 2]
That I ain't never seen
[Eb][E][A][Bb]
[E][A][Bb][E][A]
[B][Bb][D#][E]
[D#]Well, I'm [E]a Muswell

[Verse 7]
[D#]Hill[E]bill[D#]y bo[E]y[A]
But my [Bb]heart lies in Old
[Eb]West [E]Virginia
Though my [Eb]hills [E]they're
not [Eb]green
[E]But I've [A]seen them in my [Gbm]dreams
Take [E]me [Bb]back to those Black Hills

[Outro 1]
That I ain't never seen
[D#][E][A][Bb][Eb][E][Eb][A]
[Bb][Eb][E][Eb][A][Bb][Eb][E][Eb]
