**The A-E transition is very quick so hardly one strum is required on the E MajorE chords.

A augmentedA   E MajorE     A augmentedA    E MajorE      A augmentedA
I was born and raised, A augmentedA bootlegger's boy,

    E MajorE    A augmentedA    E MajorE     A augmentedA
In the Cherokee Hills, I applied my trade,

  E MajorE    D MajorD        A augmentedA     E MajorE   A augmentedA     E MajorE    A augmentedA
In Mountain City, I had me a time, just makin' money, on Moonshine.

Interlude: A,E,A,E,A...

   E MajorE     A augmentedA     E MajorE     A augmentedA
So I hauled my load, into Knoxville town,

 E MajorE    A augmentedA      E MajorE    A augmentedA
I met me a gal, and we knocked around,

     E MajorE     D MajorD           A augmentedA
But them Knoxville girls, can't leave me alone,

   E MajorE    A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA
In my suits so fine, and my bottle of corn.

Chorus:
     D MajorD        A augmentedA         F#F#      A augmentedA
I'm going back to Mountain City, Where I can make another run,

    F#F#          A augmentedA       D MajorD          A augmentedA
Load my trunk, with Moonshine whisky, I am a brave, Bootlegger's Son.

Interlude: A,E,A,E,A...

    E MajorE     A augmentedA      E MajorE    A augmentedA
So I sold that corn, to the Circuit Judge,

    E MajorE   A augmentedA     E MajorE   A augmentedA
On the public square, to Mayor Trent,

   E MajorE    D MajorD             A augmentedA
But I met with trouble, on the tracks one night,

    E MajorE    A augmentedA   E MajorE      A augmentedA
With a drunken man, I commenced to fight.

Interlude: A,E,A,E,A...

    E MajorE      A augmentedA       E MajorE    A augmentedA
Yeah I fought five rounds, then I put him away,

    E MajorE   A augmentedA      E MajorE   A augmentedA
With a wicked jab, from a razor blade,

    E MajorE   D MajorD            A augmentedA
And the women screamed, as the bottles broke,

  E MajorE   A augmentedA         E MajorE     A augmentedA
On stony ground, where the blood did flow.

Chorus:
     D MajorD        A augmentedA      F#F#         A augmentedA
I'm going back to Mountain City, gonna make those revenues run

      F#F#        A augmentedA        F#F#         A augmentedA
I killed a man, in a feud of whiskey, I am a cruel, Bootlegger's son.

Solo: play the chords to the chorus 2x

Interlude: A,E,A,E,A...

   E MajorE    A augmentedA       E MajorE    A augmentedA
Now I roam the night, just to hide my shame,

    E MajorE   A augmentedA      E MajorE   A augmentedA
I lost all my money, can't find a friend,

   E MajorE    D MajorD            A augmentedA
Gonna drag my bones, to the mountainside,

  E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD       A augmentedA
If corn don't kill me, I might never die.

Chorus:

     D MajorD        A augmentedA           F#F#       A augmentedA
I'm going back to Mountain City, or else they'll hang me this I know,

      F#F#        A augmentedA        F#F#         A augmentedA
I killed a man, in a feud of whiskey, I am a cruel, Bootlegger's boy.

     D MajorD        A augmentedA           F#F#       A augmentedA
I'm going back to Mountain City, to the Cherokee hills I started from,

      F#F#        A augmentedA      F#F#         A augmentedA
Going home broke ain't it a pity, I am a cruel, Bootlegger's son.

THE END!
