[Verse 1]
A
Kentucky you are the dearest land
A                    E
outside of Heaven to me
E
Kentucky your laurels
E                A
and your red bud trees
A
When I die I want to rest
A                              E
upon your graceful mountain so high
E
Kentucky that is where
E                 A
God will look for me

[Verse 2]
A
Kentucky I miss the voices
A                          E
singing in the silvery moonlight
E
Kentucky I miss the
E                 A
hound dog chasing coon
A
I know that my mother dad & sweetheart
A                   E
all are waiting for me
E                         A
Kentucky I will be coming soon
