Half Mile Down

Intro: D  C  G 

G                                        C             G 
They come down from Washington city to our blue ridge mountain home 
         D                                 C            G 
And they crossed that crooked river to the valley down below 
G                                      C              G 
I was swimming in that water when they came up to the shore 
       D                            C           G 
Saying sorry son this won't be dry land here anymore 

         D                C           G 
Yes and my home town is a half mile down 
     C                                   G 
Its a half mile of water all around all around 
D                 C         G 
My home town is a half mile down 

G                                      C                 G 
First they started their surveying and making up their plans 
   D                                    C          G 
To flood that peaceful valley just to build Watogga dam 
G                                        C                G 
Well they brought in their bulldozers and pushed our homes away 
         D                       C           G 
And they handed me a shovel and sixty cents a day 

         D                  C         G 
Singing my home town is a half mile down 
     C                                   G 
Its a half mile of water all around all around 
D                 C         G 
My home town is a half mile down 

        D                                    C                G 
So they stripped out all the timber and they leveled all the land 
         D                              C                 G 
And they drilled and dynamited til they blew the mountains in 
 Em                                 Am 
I tore down my old home place and I dug up daddy's grave 
      C                 D 
And I relocated mama to fourteen miles away 

    G                           C                G 
Now I look out on the water that rose upon that day 
        D                             C              G 
By the banks of the old Wattoga where I once used to play 
G                                       C                 G 
Yes I look out on that water where they made their big mistake 
    D                                   C           G 
And covered up our hometown 'neath that god forsaken lake 

        D                C         G 
Singing my hometown is a half mile down 
     C                                   G 
Its a half mile of water all around all around 
D                 C         G 
My home town is a half mile down 
     C                                   G 
Its a half mile of water all around all around 
D                 C         G 
My home town is a half mile down
