[G]they come down from washington city to our [C]blue ridge mountain [G]home

saying [D]sorry son this won't be dry [C]land here any[G]more
[D]yes and my home town is a [C]half mile [G]down
its a [C]half mile of water all around all [G]around
[D]my home town is a [C]half mile [G]down

[G]first they started their surveying and [C]making up their [G]plans
to [D]flood that peaceful valley just to [C]build Watauga [G]damn
oh they brought in their bulldozers and they [C]pushed our homes [G]away
then they [D]handed me a shovel and [C]sixty cents a [G]day, singing
[D]my home town is a [C]half mile [G]down
its a [C]half mile of water all around all [G]around
[D]my home town is a [C]half mile [G]down
