Intro: A E A E A E A E D A E A E A 



A     E         A        E            A 
I was born and raised  A bootlegger's boy  

       E        A        E          A 
In the Cherokee Hills  I applied my trade  

   E        D                A          E      A         E       A 
In Mountain City  I had me a time  just makin' money  on Moonshine. 

Interlude: A E A E A... 

     E         A          E         A 
So I hauled my load  into Knoxville town  

  E        A           E       A  
I met me a gal  and we knocked around  

         E         D                     A 
But them Knoxville girls  can't leave me alone  

      E        A            E         A 
In my suits so fine  and my bottle of corn. 

Chorus: 
          D                A                 F#           A 
I'm going back to Mountain City  Where I can make another run  

        F#                    A              D                   A 
Load my trunk  with Moonshine whisky  I am a brave  Bootlegger's Son. 

Interlude: A E A E A... 

       E         A            E       A 
So I sold that corn  to the Circuit Judge  

       E      A          E     A 
On the public square  to Mayor Trent  

      E        D                          A 
But I met with trouble  on the tracks one night  

       E       A      E            A 
With a drunken man  I commenced to fight. 

Interlude: A E A E A... 

       E           A              E       A 
Yeah I fought five rounds  then I put him away  

       E      A           E     A 
With a wicked jab  from a razor blade  

        E     D                        A 
And the women screamed  as the bottles broke  

   E     A                 E         A 
On stony ground  where the blood did flow. 

Chorus: 
          D                A           F#                  A 
I'm going back to Mountain City  gonna make those revenues run 

           F#                A               F#                  A 
I killed a man  in a feud of whiskey  I am a cruel  Bootlegger's son. 

Solo: play the chords to the chorus 2x 

Interlude: A E A E A... 

      E        A              E       A 
Now I roam the night  just to hide my shame  

       E      A            E      A  
I lost all my money  can't find a friend  

      E       D                        A 
Gonna drag my bones  to the mountainside  

   E          A       D              A 
If corn don't kill me  I might never die. 

Chorus: 

          D                A                     F#             A 
I'm going back to Mountain City  or else they'll hang me this I know  

           F#                A               F#                  A 
I killed a man  in a feud of whiskey  I am a cruel  Bootlegger's boy. 

          D                A                     F#              A 
I'm going back to Mountain City  to the Cherokee hills I started from  

           F#               A            F#                  A 
Going home broke ain't it a pity  I am a cruel  Bootlegger's son.
