Chords

[Intro] D D/F# [Verse 1]
D
Turpentine and dandelion wine,

                D/F#            G
I've turned the corner, an' I'm doin' fine.

G                            D
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line;

A                         D
Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine.

G                            D
Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head,

A                                D
Going higher and higher 'til I'm dead.
[Verse 2]
D
Sister Sue is short and stout,

                D/F#         G
She didn't grow up, she grew out.

G                                 D
Momma says she's plain, but she's just being kind.

A                                  D
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind.

G                        D
Don't let her out much except at night.

A                               D
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right.
[Chorus]
D                         D/F#  G            D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.

                        A
Young folks roll on the floor.

        D                 D/F#  G            D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.

                     A            D
Keep them hard times away from my door.
[Verse 3]
D
Brother Gene is big and mean,

                  D/F#    G
And he don't have much to say.

G                            D
He had a little woman who he whooped each day,

    A              D
But now she's gone away.

G                            D
Got drunk last night, kicked momma down the stairs,

    A                         D
But I'm all right, so I don't care.
[Chorus]
D                         D/F#  G            D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.

                        A
Young folks roll on the floor.

        D                 D/F#  G            D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.

                     A            D
Keep them hard times away from my door.

Keep them hard times away from my door.

Keep them hard times away from my door
