Verse 1:
      D              Am           G       F   C   D 
I was there when the men came, and told us all the news
D         Am                G        F    C    D 
Father forgive them for they know not what they do

Till they walk a while, a country mile 
      A   C     D 
In my hillbilly shoes

In my hillbilly shoes

You work all day in the muck and the mire

Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire

Ain't too much these boots cant do
D

Riff 3

D
Well I'm going up Cripple Creek, going in a run

Note: in the second guitar solo tab, everything in between two asterisks (*)
indicates guitar one, and everything between two number signs (#) indicate 
guitar two, as it is a dueling guitars solo.


Hope all that came through okay…there might be a problem or two with 
alignment.  Feel free to post comments, I know a part or two of the lead isn't 
right, once I get it perfect I'll correct myself, but this is how I play it 
live now, and it gets the job done with a little flash (lol).  Thanks y'all.
