capo 3
intro : D A D
on the [ D ] hillside in hazard sits A [ G ] new double [ D ] wide
gods little acre , pure para [ A ] dise .
A [ D ] poor boy found heaven , with A [ G ] good county [ D ] girl .
he had all he wanted , she [ A ] was his whole [ D ] world .
but [ D ] working the coal mine , can [ G ] wear a man [ D ] down .
he started spending too much time in [ ] town .
[ D ] he found temptation , fell [ G ] under its [ D ] spell .
hillbilly heaven went to [ A ] honky tonk [ D ] hell . [ D/E ] – [ D/F# ]
chorus
from [ G ] hillbilly heaven to [ D ] honky tonk hell
from a warm home fire burning , to a cold cheap mo [ A ] tel
and an [ D ] angel is crying , cause her good man [ G ] fell ,
from [ D ] hillbilly heaven to [ A ] honky tonk [ D ] hell .
instrumental : D A D
( same chords as first verse )
somewhere in hazard on a dark dead end street ,
where whiskey and heartache and old memories meet ,
he looks for salvation in a bottle each night .
and just goes on living though hes lost his life .
( key change to E )
now theres A [ E ] job in the coal mine that [ A ] needs to be [ G#m ] filled
and a heartache in hazard that wont ever [ F#m ] heal
[ E ] he had it all , now [ A ] its all for [ E ] sale
and hillbilly heavens gone to [ B ] honky tonk [ E ] hell
repeat chorus in key of E
tag :
hes gone from [ E ] hillbilly heaven to [ B ] honky tonk [ E ] hell
