Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
A augmentedA          D MajorD        D#D#
Then one day he was shooting at some food,
  E MajorE                   A augmentedA
And up through the ground come a bubbling crude
A augmentedA
(Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea)

Well the first thing you know old Jed's a millionaire
E MajorE         A augmentedA
Kin folk said Jed move away from there
    A augmentedA         D MajorD        D#D#
He said California is the place you oughta be
    E MajorE                     A augmentedA
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
A augmentedA
(Hills that is, swimming pools, movie stars)

They would like to thank you folks for kindly droppin' in
    A augmentedA             D MajorD     D#D#
You're all invited back again to this locality
  E MajorE                    A augmentedA
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
A augmentedA
(Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now,

Nice folks. Y'all come back now, ya hear?)
