[Intro]

G Em C D

G C

[Verse 1]

G

I am the one, who stayed behind

C G

While the others were going away

Am D C

To the mills of Chicago, to the plants of Detroit

F Em7 D

For the promise of a five-dollar day

G

They would come by in December, while the folks were alive

C Bm

With gifts from the money they'd made

C G C

And they'd talk of the nights, 'neath the bright city lights

G D7 G

And wonder how I ever stayed (And I'd tell them)

[Chorus]

C G D

Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning

C G D

You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street

C G C

Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker

G D Em C

While life goes on, and on, and on

G D G

While life goes on, and on

[Fiddle Solo]

C G D C D7

[Verse 2]

G

I took the train out of Corbin, and headed up North,

C G

To visit a brother of mine

D C

Said he'd talk to his foreman, for to get me a job

F D7

Working midnight's assembly line

G

And I was there with my brother, making factory pay

C Bm

But Lord, my soul was alone

C G C

And it was four in the morning, I shut down my machine

G D G

And I told them, "I'm going home.

[Chorus]

C G D G

Oh, your bright lights don't shine, like a Kentucky morning

C G D

You can't hear a whippoorwill out on the street

C G C

Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker

G D Em C

While life goes on, and on and on

G D G

While life goes on, and on

[Mandolin Solo]

G C G D C G

[Outro]

D C G C

Give me a good piece of land, and an old cane-back rocker

G D Em G

While life goes on, and on and on

G D B

While life goes on, and on

G D C Am G

Whoa, while life goes on, and on
