[Intro]
G Em Cadd9 G
G Em Cadd9 G
[Verse]
G
Harlots hang in the hollows now
Em Cadd9 G
Cold and blue in their old nightgowns
G
Calico skin set to burn and howl
Em
Got them twenty dollar hands
Cadd9 G
And them fifty dollar mouths
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em G
Under the law of supply and demand
Cadd9 G G G Cadd9
It’s a privilege of mine to be a common man
[Chorus]
G
Go down, Appalachia
Em Cadd9 G
Yonder stands the river Conasauga to and fro
G
Oh, death and transfiguration
Em Cadd9 G
May it fill your soul with the wild and Holy Ghost
G D Em
Hail to the creep
G D Em
Hail to the creep
Cadd9 D G
That swept you off your feet
[Instrumental]
G Em Cadd9 G
[Verse]
G
We ain’t what you think we are
Em Cadd9 G
Old times here ain’t forgott--en
G
Our apocryphal home in the by and by
Em Cadd9 G
That’s a myth my friend we’ve resurrect--ed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em G
Truth gets covered, in other words governed
Cadd9 G Em Em Cadd9
Call up the elders just beyond the road’s they move
[Chorus]
G
Go down, Appalachia
Em Cadd9 G
Yonder stands the river Conasauga to and fro
G
Oh, death and transfiguration
Em Cadd9 G
May it fill your soul with the wild and Holy Ghost
G D Em
Hail to the creep
G D Em
Hail to the creep
Cadd9 D G
That swept you off your feet
[Instrumental/Outro]
