Capo on 4th

             
Wish that I wa

 top,
           
Down in the te

Ain't no smogg

ky top,
           
Ain't no telep

Once there was

          
 a girl on roc

Half bear the

Wild as a mink

             
, but sweet as

 
 soda pop,
           
I still dream 

      
about that.

            
Rocky top, you

Home sweet hom

Once two stran

Now I've had y

Trapped like a
