Go Down Appalachia chords

[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
 

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



 
[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
