Down In The Boondocks chords
Joe South (also performed by Billy Joe Royal) *
A D
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
E D A
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
A
I love her, she loves me
D
But I don't fit in her society
E D A
Lord have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
A D A
Every night I watch the light from that house up on the hill
A D A F#m
I love that little girl inside, and I guess I always will
D E
But I don't dare knock on her door 'cause
D E
Her daddy is my boss man
D E D E
For now I'll have to be content, just to see her whenever I can
A D
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
E D A
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love her, she loves me
D
But I don't fit in her society
E D A
Lord have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
A D A
One fine day I'll find a way to move from this old shack
D A F#m
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never will look back
D E
But 'til that morning I'll work and slave
D E
And I'll save every dime
D E
But tonight she'll have to steal away
D E
To see me just one more time
A D
Down in the boondocks, down in the boondocks
E D A
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love her, she loves me
D
But I don't fit in her society
E D A
Lord have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
E D A
Lord have mercy, I'm a boy from down in the boondocks
