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
