G                   C         G           Em     C           G

G                      C         G        Em  C             G
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that

Once 2 strangers climbed ole Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still

G                       C    G            Em          C          G
Corn don't grow at all on Rocky Top ground's too rocky by far
G                    C        G            Em         C             G
That's why all the folks on Rocky Top drink their corn from a jar

I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen
G             C     G       Em     C      G
All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again
