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
D C G
G C G
first they started their surveying and making up their plans
D C G
to flood that peaceful valley just to build Watauga damn
C G
oh they brought in their bulldozers and they pushed our homes away
D C G
then they handed me a shovel and sixty cents a day, singing
