[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Turbine time
to dandelion wine
I've turned the corner and
I'm [G]doing fine
Shooting at the birds on
the [D]telephone line
Pick[A]ing them off with this [D]gun of mine
[G]Fire in my belly and a [D]fire in my head
Going [A]higher and higher until I'm [D]dead
My sister Sue, she's short and stout,
She didn't grow up, she grew out[G].
Mama thinks she's plain,
does she, [D]just being kind.
[A]Papa thinks she's pretty,
but he's [D]almost blind.
[G]Don't let her out, but ex[D]cept at night,
Well, [A]I don't care, cause I'm a[D]lright.
The sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home,
Those young folks rolling on the [A]floor.
The [D]sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home
Keep them hard times [A]away
from my [D]door[G][A]
[D]
My brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he don't have much to [G]say
He had a little woman
[D]who he whooped each day,
but [A]now she's gone [D]away.
Got [G]drunk last night,
kicked [D]Mama down the stairs.
[A]Well, I'm alright, so I don't [D]care.
The sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Those young folks rolling on the [A]floor.
The [D]sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home.
Keep them hard times [A]away
from my [D]door
Turpentine to dandelion wine
I've turned the corner and
I'm [G]doing fine
Shooting at the birds on
the [D]telephone line
Pick[A]ing them off with this [D]gun of mine
[G]Fire in my belly and a [D]fire in my head
Going [A]higher and higher until I'm [D]dead
The sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home
Those young folks are rolling on the [A]floor
The [D]sun shines bright
on my [G]old Kentucky [D]home
Keep them hard times [A]away from my [D]door
