A                           
Come and listen to my story
           Bm       E7
 about a man named Jed
Poor mountaineer or barely 
           A
kept his family fed
                       D               D#
Then one day he was shooting at some food
      E7                                 A
And up from the ground came a bubbling crude

Oil, that is, black gold, Texas tea

A   Bm   E7   A   
D   D#   E7   A
A                     
Well the first thing you know
      Bm          E7
 old Jed's a millionaire
Kin folk said "Jed, 
A
move away from there".
                       D               D#
Said "California is the place you ought to be".
      E7                                 A
So he loaded up the truck and he moved to Beverly…

Hills, that is, swimming pools, movie stars
A   Bm   E7   A   
D   D#   E7   A 
A
Well, now it's time to say goodbye 
      Bm         E7
to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks 
      A
for kindly dropping in
                            D        D#
You're all invited back again to this locality
      E7                                 A
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality
Beverly Hillbillies, that's what they call 'em now, nice folks.
Ya'll come back here ?
