Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 On the hillside  in Hazard sits a new  doublewide
 Gods little acre, pure paradise.
 A poor  boy found heaven, with a good  county girl.
 He had all he wanted, she was  his whole world.
 But working  the coal mine, can wear  a man down.
 He started spending too much time in  town.
He  found temptation, fell under  its spell.
 Hillbilly heaven went to honky  tonk hell. -
 From Hillbilly  heaven to honky  tonk hell
 From a warm home fire burning, to a cold cheap motel
 And an angel  is crying, cause her good man fell,
 From hillbilly  heaven to honky  tonk hell.
 (Same chords as first verse)
 Somewhere in Hazard on a dark dead end street,
 Where whiskey and heartache and old memories meet,
 He looks for salvation in a bottle each night.
 And just goes on living though hes lost his life.
 (Key change to )
 Now theres a job  in the coal mine that needs  to be filled
 And a heartache in Hazard that wont ever heal
He  had it all, now its  all for sale
 And hillbilly heavens gone to honky  tonk hell
 Repeat chorus in key of E
