My Old Kentucky Home chords
Stephen Foster
G G7 C G
The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A7 D7
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay
G G7 C G
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloom
Em D D7 G
While the birds make music all the day
G7 C G
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
A7 D7
All merry, all happy and bright
G G7 C G
By 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door
Em A7 D7 G
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G C G
Weep no more my lady,
C G
oh weep no more today.
G7 C G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
Em A7 D7 G
for the old Kentucky home far away.
G G7 C G
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,
A7 D7
On meadow, the hill and the shore,
G G7 C G
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
Em D D7 G
On the bench by that old cabin door.
G7 C G
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
A7 D7
With sorrow where all was delight.
G G7 C G
The time has come when the darkies have to part,
Em A7 D7 G
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G C G
Weep no more my lady,
C G
oh weep no more today.
G7 C G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
Em A7 D7 G
for the old Kentucky home far away.
The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go
A few more days and the trouble will end,
In the field where sugar-canes may grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light.
A few more days till we totter on the road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G C G
Weep no more my lady,
C G
oh weep no more today.
G7 C G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
Em A7 D7 G
for the old Kentucky home far away.
