Tom T. Hall – I Cried All The Way To Kentucky (Guitar)

C                            F         C
When I got the word that our Uncle Joe died

                                      G 
I did what we all did, I sat down and cried

    C                   F            C 
Got into my car, headed home for the hills

                                G           C
Back home to Kentucky where the funeral was held

F                      C 
I cried all the way to Kentucky

C
His memory so sweet to recall

F
Uncle Joe lived such a good life

D                     G
Love and respected by all

C
His jokes were the talk of the county

C                          F  
He knew how to make people laugh

F                      C
I cried all the way to Kentucky

C                 G           C
And then I smiled all the way back

C                            F         C
The Preacher said Joe was a wonderful guy

                                      G 
And God has a project for him in the sky

    C                   F            C 
His stories are binging the Angels a smile

                         G           C
To turn us in new ways to cheer us awhile

C                            F         C
Joe once brought a skunk into Sunday School class

                                      G 
That even made grouchy ole Deacon Jones laugh

    C                   F            C 
He says it's been fixed and it smells like a rose

                                  G           C
All of you good christians turn loose of your nose

F                      C 
I cried all the way to Kentucky

C
His memory so sweet to recall

F
Uncle Joe lived such a good life

I cried all the way to Kentucky

C                 G           C
And then I smiled all the way back

C                            F         C
That Halloween night no one meant any harm

                                      G 
When the outhouse was perched up on Grandpa's old barn

   C                   F            C 
I think of those things when I tell Joe goodbye

                         G           C
A smile on my lips and a tear in my eye

F                      C 
I cried all the way to Kentucky

C
His memory so sweet to recall

F
Uncle Joe lived such a good life

C                 G           C
And then I smiled all the way back

F                      C
I cried all the way to Kentucky

C                 G           C
And then I smiled all the way back
