Key:G<\/span>
\nStephen Foster 1853<\/span><\/p>\n

SIMPLIFIED CHORDS – Alt\u00a0 C, F and G7<\/span><\/p>\n

The [G] sun shines bright on my [C] old Kentucky [G] home<\/span>
\n‘Tis [G] summer, and old folks<\/span><\/span> are [D7] gay<\/span>
\nThe [G] corn top’s ripe and the [C] meadow’s in [G] bloom<\/span>
\nWhile the [G] birds make [D7] music all the [G] day<\/span><\/p>\n

The [G] young folks roll on the [C] little cabin [G] floor<\/span>
\nThey’re [G] merry, all happy and [D7] bright<\/span>
\nBy ‘n [G] by hard times come a-[C]-knocking at the [G] door<\/span>
\nThen my [G] old Kentucky [D7] home, good [G] night.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – –
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

They [G] hunt no more for the [C] ‘possum and the [G] coon,<\/span>
\nOn [G] meadow, the hill and the [D7] shore,<\/span>
\nThey [G] sing no more by the [C] glimmer of the [G] moon,<\/span>
\nOn the [G] bench by that [D7] old cabin [G] door.<\/span><\/p>\n

The [G] day goes by like a [C] shadow o’er the [G] heart,<\/span>
\nWith [G] sorrow where all was de-[D7]-light.<\/span>
\nThe [G] time has come when the [C] old folks have to [G] part,<\/span>
\nThen my [G] old Kentucky [D7] home, good [G] night.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } – – [G] Weep no [C] more my [G] lady,
\noh [C] weep no more to-[G]-day.
\nWe will [G7] sing one song for my [C] old Kentucky [G] home,
\nfor my [G] old Kentucky [D7] home far [G] away.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The [G] head must bow and the [C] back will have to [G] bend,<\/span>
\nWhere-[G]-ever our future may [D7] go<\/span>
\nA [G] few more days and the [C] trouble will [G] end,<\/span>
\nIn the [G] field where [D7] sugar-canes may [G] grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

A [G] few more days for to [C] tote the weary [G] load,<\/span>
\nNo [G] matter, ’twill never be [D7] light.<\/span>
\nA [G] few more days till we [C] totter on the [G] road,<\/span>
\nThen my [G] old Kentucky [D7] home, good [G] night.<\/span><\/p>\n
