The Ballad of Jed Clampett
G C D
Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed
D G
A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
G C
Then one day he while shootin' at some food
D G
Up from the ground came a bubblin' crude.
G
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea
G C D
Well the first thing you know Ole Jed’s a millionaire.
D G
The kinfolk said, “Jed, move away from there!”
G C
They said “Californie is the place that you oughta be!”
D G
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly
G
Hills, that is, Swimming pools, and movie stars
G C D
Now, it's time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
D G
They would like to thank you all for kindly dropin’ in.
G C
You’re all invited back again to this locality,
D G
To have a heapin’ helpin’ of their hospitality.
G
Hillbillies, that's good folks,
Y'all come back now, y'hear?

You beat me to it. :-) I saw this requested by Unknown
artist. Man, I'm getting old. These young'uns probably
never heard of Flatt and Scruggs.
-DaveWH | 1/8/2003 | I've done several Flatt $ Scruggs things here
On the site:):) Wait, I'm not a young'un...:)
-lmofle | 1/8/2003 | It goes to Am after the first G, not C.
Thanks otherwise.

-dandini | 10/10/2004 | everybody knows who flatt & scruggs are.
they're one of the best country groups ever.
I love this song.
-macg1 | 12/7/2004 | there is a C# missing....
(G)Then one day while (C)shooting up some (C#)food.
also, immediately after this, instead of alternating between the 6th 4th string for base notes, alternate between the 6th and an open 5th, hammering on the 5th string, second fret. listen , you'll hear it.
