[Verse 1]
This is [C]Kentucky,
the town of [Am]haz ard
And I'm living with my [F]lady love,
[Am]the lily[F] white Olivia
[C]Oh, I say, Olivia, I won't do [Am]for mining
I'm gonna take the railroad
[F]to the southern tip [C]of Mexico
Now, little girl, you dry your eye
And keep it [G]on our mother [Am]mountain
From there I will [F]come home to you
And I promise that I [C]will be true
I'll say in my Kentucky
The town of [Am]Hazard[G]
[C]Lives a [G]lady
[C]An d I love her, oh, so it doesn't mat[Am]ter
[G]Wha[C]t they may gotta say to me[Em]
[G]My [C]home they'll never be[Am][F][C]
This is a rail [G]yard, downtown Chica[Am]go
And I've been working
on the [F]rail cars days,
sleeping in the [C]board house nights.
Oh, I dream Olivia,
of you [Am]dressed her mind.
Stepping off the [F]luxury line.
So I'm telling every [C]friend of mine,
in my Kentucky, the [G]town of [Am]Haz [G]ard.
[C]lives a lily [G]dove
and [C]I'm the one she's thinking of
oh so it [Am]doesn't [G]matter [C]if I got
things I gotta [G]do [C]to me
she'll always be [G]true[Am][F][C]
This is a highway through Min[Am]nesota
And I'm a -followin' the
[F]heartland snow
Through the corner of [C]Ok lahoma
Oh, I know, Olivia,
that I'll find my [Am]treasure
Buried in [F]these southern hills
And I know I gotta [C]have my fill
That's for my Kentucky
Well, I had to pass [Am]her[G]
[C]I know she'll unders[G]tand
[C]Why I had to keep going
I won't pay no [Am]matter
[G]The[C]re's a thing I gotta be[G]
Home [C]a -waitin', always is s[Am]he[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C]
[Am][F][Am][C][G][C][G][Am]
[F][Am][F][C]
This is a fireside, cold [Am]dark Alaska
And I've been searching
from the [F]Iowa plains
To the forests of the [C]Pennsylvania
For something in Olivia
I can't quite remem[Am]ber
[G]I'v[C]e been alone so lon[G]g
[C]I can't recall my home Kentucky
Old [Am]town of Hazard
[G]The[C]re ain't nothing I wouldn't[G] do
[C]To get me back home to [Am]you
Oh, oh, oh, [F]oh, [C]oh, oh oh,
oh, oh, [Am]oh, oh, oh, [F]oh[C]
This is a ghost town outside Tallu[Am]lah
And I've been staring
at the [F]Southern sun
From the dawn until [C]the day be done
Oh, I heard Olivia of your body bur[Am]ied
And now I'm ridin' me [F]a riverboat
Back to the banks of my [C]Hazard home
And then I'm gonna cry my eye
For the daughter of the [Am]mountain
May her mother make a [F]use of my tears
[Am]May she [F]find me fit [C]to bury here
In my Kentucky, the town of [Am]haz ard

[Verse 2]
[Em]Knew that [C]I'd return one day,[G]
but not that I'd find [C]my
treasure this [Em]way[C]

[Verse 3]
But what does it matter[Am]?

[Verse 4]
[G]I a[C]m old now,[Em]
and my [C]lily -loved golden is [Em]gone[C]

[Verse 5]
Oh, [Am]Olivia[F][C]
[Am][F][C]
[Am][F][C]
One, two, three, four, five.
