Verse 
       D                                G 
Well I said goodbye to Rosie Rooke this morning, 
          A                            D 
I'm gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes, 
    D                              G 
She wore her Sunday hat so she'd impress me, 
          A                               D 
I'm gonna carry her memory 'til the day I die. 
        D                            G 
They'll move me up to Muswell Hill tomorrow, 
     A                                 D 
Photographs and souvenirs are all I've got, 
              D                                G 
They're gonna try and make me change my way of living, 
            A                            D 
But they'll never make me something that I'm not. 

D G Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy, A D but my heart lies in old West Virginia, D G A Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee, A D Still I dream of the Black Hills that I ain't never seen.
G A D D (2X) VERSE E A They're putting us in identical little boxes, B E No character just uniformity, E A They're trying to build a computerised community, B E But they'll never make a zombie out of me. E A They'll try and make me study elocution, B E Because they say my accent isn't right, E A They can clear the slums as part of their solution, B E But they're never gonna kill my cockney pride. E A Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy, B E But my heart lies in Old West Virginia, E Though my hills they're not green, A B I've seen them in my dreams, B Take me back to those Black Hills, E That I have never seen.
