  C               G              
I know I'm just a country girl I 
C                G
hadn't seen much of the world
  F                 G        
Today my bus pulled out of old 
     C      G
Kentucky
   C               G              
My daddy waved and mama cried and 
C                 G
I felt all choked up inside
      F             G             
Cause I was leavin' everyone that 
C
loved me.

    G                        G
The first I saw of city ways went 
against how I was raised
     F                             
This country girl was really out of
 C
 place
    G                             
And I was set to go back home but I 
G
was broke and all alone
    F                              
And I couldn't find another 
  C
friendly face.

      E                          
But I didn't have the bus fare to 
    Am
Kentucky

        G                       
Or this city would have seen the 
         C
last of me
  E                          
I didn't have the bus fare to 
 Am
Kentucky
         D                         
And that old Grey Dog won't let me 
         G
ride for free.

  C              G             C 
I met a boy from Tennessee and I 
         G
guess he reminded me
   F              G         
Of someone that I knew in old 
  C         G
Kentucky
C              G                 
It was good to have a friend and 
C              G
it was good to laugh with him
    F              G               
And it was good to hear him say he 
C
loved me.

  G                                
I never thought he'd do me wrong so
 G
 I gladly went along
  F                                
I loved him more than any man I've 
C
known
    G                           G
And after he had all his fun he told
 me that our love was done
    F                              
And then he left this country girl 
C
alone.

      E                          
But I didn't have the bus fare to 
    Am
Kentucky
        G                       
Or this city would have seen the 
         C
last of me
  E                          
I didn't have the bus fare to 
   Am
Kentucky
         D                         
And that old Grey Dog won't let me 
         G
ride for free.

G
I can't afford to go first class so 
I'll make it the best I can
G
Anything to get my feet on that good
 Kentucky land
G
My thumb is in the air and my 
suitcase by my side
G
Won't somebody give this poor old 
country girl a ride.

   C                           
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll 
                    F
never leave you anymore
   G                            
Kentucky I don't know why I ever 
 C
strayed
   C                               
Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and
                      F
 your valleys call to me
   G                        C
Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay
   C                           
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll 
                    F
never leave you anymore...
