Rocky Top (A)





A               D      A
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
F#m         E7        A
Down in the Tennessee Hills
A               D        A
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
F#m      E7        A
Ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that

    (Chorus)
    F#m               E
    Rocky Top, you'll always be
    G                  D
    Home sweet home to me
    D        A
    Good ol' Rocky Top
    A         G     A    A         G     A
    Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol' Rocky Top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top
Reckon they never will

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Get their corn from a jar

    (Chorus)

I've had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
All I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again

    (Chorus)
