  C              G                  C
I left Kentucky, running toward the lights,

  C                G              C
I couldn't wait to get them in my sight.

C        Em      F             C
Way back then it all seemed so clear,

C  G/B  Am               D          G
     As I watched old Kentucky disappear.
[Verse 2]
    C               G               C
But I was blind and I just couldn't see,

C             G                  C
Even when you cried, you said to me,

 C   Em       F                C  F
"Go ahead and do what you must do,

      C                G           C
Until you return, I'll be Kentucky blue."
[Chorus]
         F              C  Csus4 C
Kentucky blue, Kentucky blue,

  C                             G    G
I wonder if you know how I miss you.

         F              C    F
Kentucky blue, Kentucky blue,

    C           F        C             G           C
She said, "I'll wait for you, and I'll be Kentucky blue."
[Interlude] C F C G C C [Verse 3]
      C                  G              C
Those bright lights were mighty hard to hold,

   C              G                  C
As bright as they were, they left me cold.

     C       Em       F                C
They say you can't go home, that's not true,

C  G/B  Am                 D            G    G7
 'Cause there comes old Kentucky in the blue.
[Verse 4]
     C           G             C
It's taken me so long, and I'm tired,

     C               G             C
What I was searching for, I left behind.

   C    Em     F              C       F
Forgive me for what I put you through,

        C            G             C
And I'm on my way to you, Kentucky blue.
[Chorus]
         F              C  Csus4 C
Kentucky blue, Kentucky blue,

  C                             G    G
I wonder if you know how I miss you.

         F              C    F
Kentucky blue, Kentucky blue,

    C           F        C             G           C      C
She said, "I'll wait for you, and I'll be Kentucky blue."
[Outro]
    C           F        C             G           F
She said, "I'll wait for you, and I'll be Kentucky blue."

         C
Kentucky blue,

  C                             G    G
I wonder if you know how I miss you.

         F              C
Kentucky blue, Kentucky blue.
