[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
How are things in Kentucky? _ _
I bet you [F] thought I'd never [C] care. _
[G] There was [C] a time when I felt lucky _
just to be away [G] from bed. _
I'd [C] had all the fat I wanted.
Now what [F] I want I just [C] can't find.
[G] And how [C] things are in late Kentucky _
has been [G] lately on [C] my mind.
[A] _ [D] All alone in New York City
_ [G] Searching for that [D] pot of gold.
[A] But I'm [D] at the end of all my rainbows
And all at _ once I'm [A] feeling old.
[D] Kind of tired of how I'm living
Of [G] what I am and [D] what I'm not
[A] And the [D] only gold in New York City
_ Isn't a _ [A] Salvation [D] Army pot.
[B] I'm [E] getting blue _ for the _ bluegrass
And [A] how the old folks [E] are at home.
Just let me do the talking
_ Cause I know you're [B] not alone.
_ [E] I hear kids back there playing
[A] I hope he don't [E] know it's me.
_ [B] [E] Jesus knows I still love you
And I just have [B] to [E] call and [G] see.
[C] How things are in late Kentucky
I [F] bet you thought I'd [C] never care.
There [C] was a time when I felt lucky
Just to be [Am] away [G] from bed. _
_ [C] I'd had all the fat I wanted.
Now what [F] I want I just [C] defer.
And how things are in late Kentucky
[Am] Has [C] been [G] lately on [C] my mind.
And how things are in late Kentucky _
[Am] Has [C] been [G] lately on [C] my mind.
