Rocky Top 


First Verse
G               C        G
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top,
Em           D          G
down in the Tennessee hills;
G               C         G
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top;
Em        D         G
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
Em                  D
Rocky Top, you'll always be
F                   C
home sweet home to me;
C          G
Good ol' Rocky Top;
Em          D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee;
Em          D     G
Rocky Top, Tennessee.


Second Verse
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
Rocky Top, you'll always be
home sweet home to me;
Good ol' Rocky Top;
Rocky Top, Tennessee;
Rocky Top, Tennessee.


Third Verse
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.
