My Old Kentucky Home Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[INTRO]
[D] [D/F#]

[VERSE 1]
[D]Turpentine and dandelion wine,
I've turned the [D/F#]corner, an' I'm [G]doin' fine.
[G]Shootin' at the birds on the [D]telephone line;
[A]Pickin' 'em off with this [D]gun o' mine.
[G]Got a fire in my belly and a [D]fire in my head,
[A]Going higher and higher 'til I'm [D]dead.

[VERSE 2]
[D]Sister Sue is short and stout,
She didn't grow [D/F#]up, she grew [G]out.
[G]Momma says she's plain, but she's [D]just being kind.
[A]Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's [D]almost blind.
[G]Don't let her out much ex[D]cept at night.
[A]But I don't care 'cause I'm all [D]right.

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh, the sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Young folks roll on the [A]floor.
Oh, the [D]sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Keep them hard times [A]away from my [D]door.

[VERSE 3]
[D]Brother Gene is big and mean,
And he don't have [D/F#]much to [G]say.
[G]He had a little woman who he [D]whooped each day,
But [A]now she's gone [D]away.
[G]Got drunk last night, kicked [D]momma down the stairs,
But [A]I'm all right, so I don't [D]care.

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh, the sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Young folks roll on the [A]floor.
Oh, the [D]sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Keep them hard times [A]away from my [D]door.

[VERSE 4]
[D]Turpentine and dandelion wine,
I've turned the [D/F#]corner, an' I'm [G]doin' fine.
[G]Shootin' at the birds on the [D]telephone line;
[A]Pickin' 'em off with this [D]gun o' mine.
[G]Got a fire in my belly and a [D]fire in my head,
[A]Going higher and higher 'til I'm [D]dead.

[CHORUS]
[D]Oh, the sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Young folks roll on the [A]floor.
Oh, the [D]sun shines bright [D/F#]on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Keep them hard times [A]away from my [D]door.
