DD7G
Well I said goodbye to Rosie Rooke this morning,
AD
I'm gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes,
DD7G
She wore her Sunday hat so she'd impress me,
AD
I'm gonna carry her memory 'til the day I die.
DD7G
They'll move me up to Muswell Hill tomorrow,
AD
Photographs and souvenirs are all I've got,
DD7G
They're gonna try and make me change my way of living,
AD
But they'll never make me something that I'm not.
[Chorus]
DD7G
Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy,
AD
but my heart lies in old West Virginia,
DGEm
Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
AD
Still I dream of the Black Hills that I ain't never seen.

EE7A
They're putting us in identical little boxes,
BE
No character just uniformity,
EE7A
They're trying to build a computerised community,
BE
But they'll never make a zombie out of me.
EE7A
They'll try and make me study elocution,
BE
Because they say my accent isn't right,
EE7A
They can clear the slums as part of their solution,
BE
But they're never gonna kill my cockney pride.
[Chorus]
EE7A
Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy,
BE
But my heart lies in Old West Virginia,
E
Though my hills they're not green,
AF#m
I've seen them in my dreams,
B
Take me back to those Black Hills,
E
That I ain't never seen.
