Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
On the hillside in Hazard sits a new doublewide
Gods little acre, pure paradise.
A poor boy found heaven, with a good county girl.
He had all he wanted, she was his whole world.
But working the coal mine, can wear a man down.
He started spending too much time in []town.
He found temptation, fell under its spell.
Hillbilly heaven went to honky tonk hell. -
Chorus
From Hillbilly heaven to honky tonk hell
From a warm home fire burning, to a cold cheap motel
And an angel is crying, cause her good man fell,
From hillbilly heaven to honky tonk hell.
Instrumental
(Same chords as first verse)
Somewhere in Hazard on a dark dead end street,
Where whiskey and heartache and old memories meet,
He looks for salvation in a bottle each night.
And just goes on living though hes lost his life.
(Key change to )
Now theres a job in the coal mine that needs to be filled
And a heartache in Hazard that wont ever heal
He had it all, now its all for sale
And hillbilly heavens gone to honky tonk hell
Repeat chorus in key of E
