My Old Kentucky Home
Randy Newman

G           G                    G                          C
Turpentine, dandelion wine - I'm turning the corner and I'm doing fine
C                        G                D                          C      G
Shooting at birds on the telephone line - Picking them off with this gun of mine
      C                      G
Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
      D                 C         G
Going higher and higher until I'm dead

Sister Sue, she was short and stout - She didn't grow up, she grew out
Papa says she's plain, but papa's being kind
Mama says she's pretty, but mama's nearly blind
They don't let her out much, but late at night
But I'm okay, so that's alright

CHORUS:
       G                       C            G
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
G                                   D       C     D
And the younguns are rolling on the floor
        G                       C           G
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
G                    D            G      C      G
Keep them hard times away from my door

Brother Jean was big and mean - He didn't have a lot to say
He had him a woman he used to whup every day
But now she's up and gone away
Got drunk last night and kicked mama down the stairs
But I'm alright, so I don't care

REPEAT CHORUS AND END
