[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ The [C] sun _ shines bright on [F] my old Kentucky [C] _ home,
In summer the [D] _ _ darkies are [G] gay.
_ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] The [C] corn tops dry and [F] the meadow is in [C] bloom,
While the _ birds [G] make music [C] all [F] day.
_ [C] _ The _ young _ folks roll _ [F] on the little cabin [C] floor, _
All merry, _ [D] all happy _ [G] and bright.
[Em] _ _ _ _ By [C] and by _ hard times come [F] a knocking at the [C] door,
In my old Kentucky [G] home, _ [C] good [F] night.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Weep no [F] _ more, [C] my lady, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ weep no more _ [C] today.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ We will [C] sing one _ song for [F] the old Kentucky [C] home,
For the old Kentucky [G] _ home far [C] away.

[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ They hunt no _ more for [F] the possum and [C] the coon, _
On the meadow, _ [D] the hill and the [G] shore. _ _ _ _ _
[C] They sing no _ more by [F] the glimmer of [C] the moon,
On the bench by [G] the old cabin [C] door.
[F] _ _ [C] The _ day _ _ goes by _ like a shadow [F] over the [C] heart,
With _ sorrow [D] where all was [G] delight.
[Em] _ _ _ _ The [C] _ time has _ come when [F] the darkies have to [C] _ part,
In my old Kentucky [G] home, _ [C] good [F] night.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Weep [F] no _ more, [C] my lady, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ weep no _ more [C] today.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ We [C] will sing one song for [F] the old Kentucky [C] home,
For the old Kentucky [G] _ home far [C] away.

[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
head _ must bow [F] and the back will have [C] to bend, _ _
Wherever _ [D] the _ darkie [G] may go. _ _ _ _
[C] A few _ more days [F] and the trouble all [C] will end,
In the field where [G] the sugar [C] canes grow.
[F] _ _ [C] _ A _ few _ more _ days [F] for to tote the weary [C] load, _
No matters _ [D] will never _ [G] be _ [Em] lies. _ _ _
[C] A few _ more days till [F] we totter on [C] the road,
In my old Kentucky [G] _ home, [C] good [F] night.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Weep [F] no _ more, [C] my _ lady, _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ weep no more [C] today.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ We [C] will sing one song for [F] the old Kentucky [C] home,
For the old Kentucky [G] home far [C] away.
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] For the old Kentucky [G] _ home far [C] away.
