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
-Have fun,
C.EWALD

Thank you VERY much....I saw Randy play this at the BBQ cook
off in San Antonio and have been singing it in my head ever
since. If you anyone has a chance to see him GO! He is one
of the most under rated Texas country performers out there!!
He always puts on a great show!! Between him and his
fiddle played Brady Black they can't be beat!
-Peligrok9 | 8/26/2004 | Awesome tab bro - this song makes me homesick.
-nftrav84 | 8/26/2004 | If nashville could make songs this good,
maybe i'd listen to the radio. They don't
know what a waltz is. This IS Texas country
at its finest.
-crochunter82 | 9/30/2004 | amen to that! ^^^
-mjmckinney | 5/22/2005 | hell yeah from San Antone, i see these guys everytime they get anywhere here in south texas. i saw em the first time at Jack Ingram festival and ive been to every show since. everytime there are more and more people.
SUPPORT TEXAS COUNTRY, SCREW NASHVILLE A*****ES
