Capo 2

 A minorAm     A minorAm
I was born, in a dump
 A minorAm        A minorAm
My mother died, yea my daddy got drunk
 A minorAm        A minorAm
They Left me here, to die or grow
A minorAm (let ring)
In the middle of Tobacco Road

 A minorAm      A minorAm
I Grew up in a rusty shack
 A minorAm         A minorAm
All I ever owned was hangin' on my back
 A minorAm      A minorAm
Lord knows how much I loathe
A minorAm (let ring)
This place called Tobacco Road

  CHORUS
       D7D7
Cause its home,
     D7D7       E7E7
the only life I've ever known, yea
   D7D7         D7D7
And the lord knows I loathe,
 E7E7
Tobacco Road, yea (yea, yeeaa)

 A minorAm          A minorAm
I'm gonna leave here and get me a job
 A minorAm         A minorAm
With the help and the grace of God
    A minorAm           A minorAm
I'm gonna save my money, get very rich I know
A minorAm (let ring)
Bring it back to Tobacco road

 A minorAm         A minorAm
Bring Dynamite yea, big ol' crane
 A minorAm            A minorAm
Blow it up, tear it down, start all over again

Build me a town be very proud to show
A minorAm (let ring)
Keep the name of Tobacco Road
