John Prine - Paradise guitar tab

PROPS GO TO: Stefan

D G D

When I was child my family would travel

A D

Down the western kentucky were my parents were born

G D

Theres a backward?s old town that often remembered

A D

So many times that my memories are worn

Chorus.

D G D

And daddy wont you take my down to Muhelberg county

A D

down by the green river where paradise lay

G D

well im sorry my son but your too late in asking

A D

mr. Peabody?s coaltrain has hauled it away

Well sometimes we?d travel right down the green river

to the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill

were the air smell like snakes we?d shoot with our pistols

but emty pop bootles was all we would kill

Chorus

Well the coalcompany came with the world?s largest shovel

and the tortured the timber and stripped all the land

they dug for their coal until the land was forsaken

and they wrote it all down as the progress of man

Chorus

When I die let my ashes fload down the green river

let my soul fload on up to the Rodchester dam

I?ll be half way to heaven with paradise waiting

just five miles away from whereever i?m am

Chorus.

Well thats it folks, Pretty Easy...??
