Rocky Top Tennessee Chords & Tabs
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.
