G
Turpentine and dandelion wine

     G7                     C
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine

C                            G
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line

D                          G
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine

         C                     G
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head

        D                           G
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
[Verse]
G
Sister Sue she's short and stout

    G7                       C
She didn't grow up, she grew out

C                                  G
Mama thinks she's pretty, but she's just being kind

D                                  G
Papa thinks she's lovely, and he's half blind

   C                        G
We don't let her out much except at night

    D                           G
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
[Interlude] | C | G | D | G | [Chorus]
          G                       C            G
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

        G                       D 
Where the young folks play on the floor

        G                       C            G
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

     G                D           G
Keep them mad times away from my door
[Verse]
G
Brother Gene, he's big and mean

       G7                 C
And he don't have much to say

   C                          G
He had a little woman that he whooped each day

D                   G
But now she's gone away

    C                        G
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs

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

        G                       D 
Where the young folks play on the floor

        G                       C            G
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

     G                D           G
Keep the mad times away from my door
[Outro]
  G         C    G
Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmm

  G        D   C   G  
Mmmm mmmm mmm mmm mmmm
