Kenny Rogers – Kentucky Homemade Christmas (Guitar)

     C
They shut down the mine last summer

      F             C
We're gettin' by on welfare

               Am      C
It's Christmas Eve I'm walkin' home

      F            G
Not a dollar to my name

C
Night is almost on me

  F                C
A night I'm almost dreading

   F                     C
No store bought gifts to open

                F         G7       C
But there'll be Christmas just the same

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

     F               C                 Dm7               G
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

                   Am       C                             Am  C
Our fine and fancy homemade love God's precious gift from up above

                               Am      G             C
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man

C
  There's a brand new Barlow knife

       F            C
with a shiny wooden handle

                Am
Gleamin' in the window

F         C               G
  Down at Galen Johnson's store

   C
My wide eyed little Billy Boy

    F                   C
His face pressed to the window

    F              C
Too young for understandin'

F         C        G     C
  what it means to be so poor

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

     F               C                 Dm7               G
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands

           Am     C        F               C
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

                   Am       C                             Am  C
Our fine and fancy homemade love God's precious gift from up above

       D
Little Linda ain't no baby hell

    G                 D
She turns thirteen in April

           Bm        D
She's been dreamin' about that dolly

                           A
In the window for half her life

      D
She's old enough to realize

     G              D
That it ain't never comin'

    G               D
I'd damn near rob a bank

   G        D        A       D
To get that doll and Billy's knife

          Bm      D        G               D
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky

     G               D                 Em7               A
