Paradise Harmonica Tab

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
When I was a child my family would travel

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 5
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
And there’s a backwards old town that’s often remembered

4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 4
So many times that my memories are worn.

Chorus:

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 5
Down by the Green River where Paradise lays

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking

4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 4
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
Well, sometimes we’d travel right down the Green River

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 5
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
Where the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistols

4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 4
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

Repeat Chorus:

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 5
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken

4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 4
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

Repeat Chorus:

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River

4 5 6 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 5
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam

4 5 6 (66) 5 6 -6 (-6-6) 6 5
I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’

4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4 -4 4
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
