(G)            (C)    (G)       (Em)        (D)       (G)
Wish that I was on ole Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills

(G)            (C)      (G)        (Em)     (D)       (G)
Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top, ain't no telephone bills

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, half bear the other half cat

(G)              (C)      (G)       (Em)    (D)         (G)
Wild as a mink as sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that

Chorus:

(Em) 	          (D)       (F)                (C)
Rocky Top, you'll always be home sweet home to me

        (G)                   (F)   (G)            (F)   (G)
Good ole Rocky Top - Rocky Top Tennessee, Rocky Top Tennessee

(Break)

Once two strangers climbed ole Rocky Top lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come down from Rocky Top, reckon they never will.

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top, dirt's too rocky by far.
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar.

(Chorus)
(Break)

I've had years of cramped up city life; stuck like a duck in a pen.
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again.

(Chorus)
