Randy Rogers Band          “They Call It The Hill Country”

Written by Kent Finlay              

Capo 2     in waltz time

D    G D      A D

D                               G          D
Well the hills of cow gap stood rugged and awesome
D                                                     A
But you have to have fill dirt when you’re building a road
D                              G            D
And the hills of cow gap, they withered the ages
D                               A         Bm
Got wiped off the map at twelve dollars a load

Chorus
G                                   D
Well they call it the hill country, I call it beautiful
A                        D           D7
I’d call it progress, if it could be saved
G                              D         Bm
They call it the hill country, I call it home
A                                             D
What will they call it, when it’s leveled and paved

D      G D       A D
D                          G       D
Uncivilized pagans drank untreated water
D                                        A
Right out of our river way back in their day
D                             G                D
Now those streams bubble with cleaned treated sewage
D                                    A    Bm
While they sit in their hot tubs and sip perrier

Repeat chorus

Bridge
G                             D
Strip off the hill top, build look-a-like houses
G                                   A
Move in some people and turn on the tv
G                        D
After the ball game turn on some old movies
D                               A          Bm
They’ll smile when they see how it used to be

Repeat chorus x3    (second time acoustic only)

A                                            D
What will they call it when it’s leveled and paved

D     G  D
