From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell
Kenny Chesney

Intro:  D  A  D 
 
On the (D)hillside in Hazard sits a (G)new double(F#m)wide 
Gods little acre, pure para(A)dise. 
A (D)poor boy found heaven, with a (G)good county (F#m)girl. 
He had all he wanted, she (A)was his whole (D)world. 
 
But (D)working the coal mine, can (G)wear a man (F#m)down. 
He started spending too much time in (Em)town. 
(D)He found temptation, fell (G)under it’s (F#m)spell. 
Hillbilly heaven went to (A)honky tonk (D)hell.  (D/E)-(D/F#) 
 
Chorus 
From (G)Hillbilly heaven to (D)honky tonk hell 
From a warm home fire burning, to a cold cheap mo(A)tel  
And an (D)angel is crying, cause her good man (G)fell,  
From (F#m)hillbilly heaven to (A)honky tonk (D)hell. 
 
Instrumental:  D  A  D 
 
(Same chords as first verse) 
Somewhere in Hazard on a dark dead end street, 
Where whiskey and heartache and old memories meet, 
He looks for salvation in a bottle each night. 
And just goes on living though he’s lost his life. 
 
(Key change to E) 
Now there’s a (E)job in the coal mine that (A)needs to be (G#m)filled 
And a heartache in Hazard that won’t ever (F#m)heal 
(E)He had it all, now (A)it’s all for (G#m)sale 
And hillbilly heavens gone to (B)honky tonk (E)hell 
 
Repeat chorus in key of E
