(D) - (G) - (A) - (E7) - (A7) - (Bm)
|
|
(D) Turpentine and dandelion wine
|
I've turned the corner and I'm (G) doing fine
|
Shooting at the birds on the (D) telephone line
|
(A) Picking 'em off with this (D) gun of mine
|
I got a (G) fire in my belly and a (D) fire in my head
|
Going (A) higher and higher till I'm dead
|
|
Sister Sue, short and stout
|
She didn't grow up - she grew out
|
Papa says she's plain but she's just being kind
|
Mama says she's pretty but she's almost blind
|
Don't let her out much 'cept at night
|
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
|
|
Oh, the (D) sun shines bright on my (G) old Kentucky (D) home
|
And the young folks roll on the (E7) floor (A7)
|
Oh, the (D) sun shines bright on my (G) old Kentucky (D) home
|
Keep them hard times (G) a (Bm)way (A7) from my (D) door
|
|
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
|
And he didn't have much to say
|
He had a little woman that he whupped each day
|
But now she's gone away
|
He got drunk last night
|
Kicked mama down the stairs
|
But I'm all right so I don't care
