Did you ^Gever see a ^Dshe-gator ^Emprotect her ^Cyoungins Or the ^Gfish in a ^Driver swiwin ^Cfree Did you ^Gever see the ^Dbeauty of the ^Emhills of Carol^Cina Or the ^Gsweetness of the ^Dgrass in ^CTennesee

And ^Glord I can't ^Dmake any ^Cchanges ^GAll I can do is ^Dwrite 'em in a ^Csong ^GCus I can see the^D concrete a ^Emslowly ^Ccreepin ^GLord take me and ^Dmine before tha^Ct comes

^GLike to see the ^Dmountain stream a ^Cflowing Do you like to see a youngin with his dog ^GDid you ever stop and ^Dthink about well ^Emthe air you're ^Cbreathing ^GWell you better listen ^Dto my ^Csong

And lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song Cus I can see the concrete a slowly creepin Lord take me and mine before it comes (key change to A for piano solo) A E D (played 4x) (back to G)

^GI'm not tryin to ^Dput down no big ^Ccity But the things they write about us is just a bore ^GYou can take a boy ^Dout of old^Em Dixiela^Cnd ^GBut you'll never take ^DDixie from a ^Cboy

^GAnd lord I can't ^Dmake any ^Cchanges All I can do is write 'em in a song ^GCus I can see the ^Dconcrete a ^Emslowly ^Ccreepin ^GLord take me and ^Dmine before that ^Ccomes

Yes well ^GI can see the ^Dconcrete a ^Amslowly ^Ccreeping ^GLord take me and ^Dmine before that ^Ccomes.
