Hillbilly Highway Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                        C       G
My granddaddy was a miner but he finally saw the light
 
He didn't have much just a beat up truck
                    C      G
And a dream about a better life
 
Gran mamma cried when she waved goodbye
                       C        G
You never heard such a lonesome sound
 
Pretty soon the dirt road tuned to blacktop
        C    G
Detroit city bound
 
[Chorus]
C         G     C     G
Down that Hill..billy Highway
C       G     C     G
On that Hill..billy Highway
C        G     C                           G
That old Hill..billy Highway,   Goes on and on
 
[Verse 2]
G                                 
Now he worked and saved his money 
                C        G
so that one day he might send
                                               C       G
My old man off to college to use his brain and not his hands
Gran mama cried when she said goodbye
                       C        G
You never heard such a lonesome sound
But daddy had himself a good job in Houston
         C       G
One more rolling down
 
[Chorus]
C        G     C     G
That old Hill..billy Highway
C        G     C     G
That old Hill..billy Highway
C        G     C                            G
That old Hill..billy Highway,  rolls on and on
 
[Verse 3]
G                                      
Now granddaddy rolled over in hi grave 
             C      G
the day that I quit school
                                               
I just sat around the house playing my guitar, 
               C       G
my daddy said "I was a fool!"

My mama cried when I said goodbye
                     C        G
I never heard such a lonesome sound
Now I'm standing on the highway and if your going my way
         C         G
You know we're I'm bound
 
[Chorus]
C         G     C     G
Down that Hill..billy Highway
C        G     C     G
That old Hill..billy Highway
C        G     C                          G
That old Hill..billy Highway rolls on and on
