[G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]My granddaddy was a miner,
but he finally [C]saw the [G]light
He [G]didn't have much, just a beat-up truck
and a dream about a [C]better [G]life
[G]Grandmama cried when she waved goodbye,
you never heard such a [C]lonesome [G]sound
[G]Pretty soon the dirt road turned into blacktop,
Detroit [C]City [G]bound

[Chorus 1]
Down that [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]On that [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]That old [G]hillbilly [C]highway
Goes on and [G]on[C]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
Now he [G]worked and saved his money so that
one day [C]he might [G]send
My [G]old man off to college, to use his brains
and [C]not his [G]hands
[G]Grandmama cried when he said goodbye,
you never heard such a [C]lonesome [G]sound
But [G]daddy had himself a good job in Houston,
one more [C]rollin' [G]down

[Chorus 2]
That old [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]That old [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]That old [G]hillbilly [C]highway
Goes on and [G]on[C]
[G]On and on, and on
Here it [C]goes

[Verse 3]
[G]Granddaddy rolled over in his grave
the day that [C]I quit s[G]chool
I just [G]sat around the house playin' my guitar,
Daddy said I [C]was a [G]fool
[G]My mama cried when I said goodbye,
you never heard such a [C]lonesome [G]sound
Now I'm [G]standin' on this highway
and if you're going my way
You know [C]where I'm [G]bound

[Chorus 3]
Bound that [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]On that [G]hill[C]billy [G]highway
[C]That old [G]hillbilly [C]highway
Goes on and [G]on[C]
[G]Hmm, yeah that's the [C]road I'm
