Verse 1:
         A           C#m           Bm        E
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
  E7                      A               E
A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed
    A        C#m        D                F#m6
And then one day he was shootin' at some food
    E                                     A
And up through the ground come a-bubblin' crude

Verse 2:
          A               C#m       Bm             E
Well, the first thing you know, ol' Jed's a millionaire
    E7                 A              E
The kinfolk said "Jed, move away from there"
     A         C#m          D                F#m6
They said "Californy is the place you oughta be"
        E                                          A
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
