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

 (E-A-D progression 1x no vocals)
 E                               Am      D  Dsus4
 Have you been to the Cumberland Gap  oh no
 E                               Am        D Dsus4 C  A
 The air is sweeter than oranges there  oh no  oh no

 (repeat chorus)
