 A correction to my original post. After playing it again I 
 
 realized that some of the verse A chords should be Am...so
 
 so heres my revised transcription. Any other corrections 
 
 welcomed....Jeff.
 
 
 
  Tune guitar to Eb (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).
 
  
 
  E                               Am      D  Dsus4 
 
  Have you been to the Cumberland Gap  oh no
 
  E                                 Am        D  Dsus4
 
  Fix your eyes on the green of the mount  oh no
 
  E                      Am       D Dsus4 C  A
 
  Where the Appalachians rise  oh no  oh no
 
  E                             Am        D  Dsus4
 
  Have you tasted the finest of trout  oh no
 
  E                               Am        D  Dsus4
 
  Have you sleep in a log-burning house  oh no
 
  E                                Am        D Dsus4 C  A
 
  With your feet flopping over the couch  oh no  oh no
 
  
 
                 C            F#m  C  
  But Mighty Joe Moon there is no controlling him
 
                F#m           C  
  Drive off the bridge if you choose to swim
 
                        F#m               C  
  Mighty Joe Moon can't prevent where his spirits sent
 
            F#m               C  
  Joe can't control where his money goes
 
      A  
  Hes Mighty Joe
