[Verse 1]
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;
 
G               C        G
Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top
Em           D          G
Dirt's too rocky by far
G               C         G
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top
Em              D          G
Drinkin' their corn from a jar
 
 
[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.
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            G         C         G
Now I've had years of cramped up city life
Em             D          G  G
Trapped like a duck in a pen
G          G       C     G
Now all I know is it's a pity
Em             D      G  G
Life can't be simple again
 
G               C        G
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top;
G               C         G
Half bear, other half cat
G               C         G
Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop,
Em        D         G
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.
