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
