Randy Rogers - They Call It The Hill Country guitar chord

Randy Rogers Band “They Call It The Hill Country”

Written by Kent Finlay

Capo 2 in waltz time

D G D A D

D G D

Well the hills of cow gap stood rugged and awesome

D A

But you have to have fill dirt when you’re building a road

D G D

And the hills of cow gap, they withered the ages

D A Bm

Got wiped off the map at twelve dollars a load

Chorus

G D

Well they call it the hill country, I call it beautiful

A D D7

I’d call it progress, if it could be saved

G D Bm

They call it the hill country, I call it home

A D

What will they call it, when it’s leveled and paved

D G D A D

D G D

Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water

D A

Right out of our river way back in their day

D G D

Now those streams bubble with cleaned treated sewage

D A Bm

While they sit in their hot tubs and sip perrier

Repeat chorus

Bridge

G D

Strip off the hill top, build look-a-like houses

G A

Move in some people and turn on the tv

G D

After the ball game turn on some old movies

D A Bm

They’ll smile when they see how it used to be

Repeat chorus x3 (second time acoustic only)

A D

What will they call it when it’s leveled and paved

D G D

-Have fun,
