A
Turpentine and dandelion wine

     A7                     D
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine

D                            A
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line

E                          A
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine

         D                     A
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head

        E                           A
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
[Verse 2]
A
Sister Sue she's short and stout

    A7                       D
She didn't grow up, she grew out

D                                  A
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind

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

   D                        A
We don't let her out much except at night

    E                           A
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
[Chorus]
          A                       D            A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

        A                       E 
And the young folks roll on the floor

        A                       D            A
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

     A                E           A
Keep them hard times away from my door
[Verse 3]
A
Brother Gene, he's big and mean

       A7                 D
And he don't have much to say

D                         A
Got a little woman who he whooped each day

E                   A
But now she's gone away

    D                        A
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs

    E                         A
But I'm all right, so I don't care
[Chorus]
          A                       D            A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

        A                       E 
And the young folks roll on the floor

        A                       D            A
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

     A                E           A
Keep them hard times away from my door
[Verse 4]
A

I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine

D                            A
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line

E                          A
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine

         D                     A
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head

        E                           A
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
