From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell by Kenny Chesney
Key:DD| Capo:3fr|
Intro: DAD
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: DAD
(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 ETag:
Hes gone from [E]Hillbilly heaven to [B]honky tonk [E]hell
