F                                     Bb
After traveling through this world of sorrow

          C7               F
No one on earth to call my friend

                          Bb
I'm on my way back to old Kentucky

                C7                  F
Where I met and loved but could not win
[Verse 2]
F                            Bb
I've always loved you little darling

Bb            C7              F
My heart will always feel the same

F                             Bb
I could never do one thing to hurt you

Bb         C7                 F
I'd rather die than bring you shame
[Instrumental] F F F Bb Bb C C F F F F Bb Bb C C F [Verse 3]
F                                    Bb
When the cold dark shroud is wrapped around me

Bb          C7            F
They lay my weary head to rest

F                              Bb
Will you stand around and gaze upon me

Bb          C7                F
For I'm the one that loved you best
[Verse 4]
F                                  Bb
When your golden hair is turned to silver

Bb         C7                 F
The Master calls your soul to heaven

F                                 Bb
Where we can be free from all our troubles

Bb            C7                 F   F
I'll meet you there at journey's end
