My Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine and Dandelion Wine) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Tur[G]pen[D]tin[G]e, dandelion wine
Turned the corner and
I'm [C]doin' fine
Shootin' at the birds on
the [G]telephone line
[D]Pickin' 'em off with this [G]gun of mine
I got a [C]fire in my belly, [G]fire in my head
Gonna [D]hi- di- hi 'til [G]I'm dead

[Verse 2]
Sister Sue, short [G]and stout
She didn't grow up, she grew [C]out
Mama thinks she's pretty
and she's [G]bein' kind
[D]Papa thinks she's lovely and
[G]he's half blind
[C]Don't let her out much
ex[G]cept at night
[D]I don't care 'cause
I'm all right
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Oh, the sun shines bright on [C]my old
Kentucky [G]home
And the young folks lay [D]on the floor
Oh, [G]the sun shines bright on my
[C]old Kentucky [G]home
Keep them bad [D]times away
from [G]my door

[Verse 4]
Brother Gene, he's [G]big and mean
He don't have much [C]to say
He had a little woman that he'd
[G]whoop each day
But [D]now she's gone away
[G]Got dru[C]nk last night kickin'
[G]mama down the stairs
And [D]I'm all right and I don't [G]care

[Verse 5]
Oh, [G]the sun shines bright on my [C]old
Kentucky [G]home
And the young folks lay
[D]on the floor
[G]Oh, the sun shines bright
on my [C]old Kentucky home
[G]Keep them bad times awa[D]y from my door
