Down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks
D
People put me down
C G
Cause thats the side of town I was born in

I love her, She loves me
C
But I dont fit in her society
D C Bm Am G
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
verse 1
G
Every night I watch the lights
C G
from the house upon the hill
Em
I love a girl that lives up
B7 Em
there and I guess I always will
Am7 D7
But I don't dare knock on her door
Am7 D7
Cause her daddy is my boss man
Am7 D7
So I have to try to be content
Am7 D7
Just to see her whenever I can
Chorus
G
One fine day I'll find away
C G
To move from this old shack
Em
I'll hold my head up like a king
B7 Em
and never, never will look back
Am7 D7
Until that morning I'll work and slave
Am7 D7
And I'll save every dime
Am7 D7
But tonight she'll have to steal away
Am7 D7
to see me one more time
D C Bm Am G
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
