           C   F                C 
I'D rather B-E-E-E in some dark holler 
          C         F     C 
Where the sun don't never shine 
        C           C7        F 
Than to be at home alone just knowin' that you?re gone  
C           G       C 
As I slowly lose my mind 
 
   C         F       C 
So blow your whistle freight train 
        C          F        C 
Take me farther on down the track 
    C      C7       F  
I'm goin' away, I'm leavin' today 
      C           G            C  
I'm a-goin' and I ain't comin' back

I'd rather be in some dark holler 
Where the sun don't never shine 
Than to be in some big city 
In a small room with your love on my mind
