My Old Kentucky Home chords
Stephen Foster
  G+G     G7G7      C majorC      G+G
The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
         A7A7     D7D7
'Tis summer, the darkies are gay
  G+G     G7G7      C majorC      G+G
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloom
     E minorEm     D MajorD   D7D7   G+G
While the birds make music all the day
        G7G7     C majorC      G+G
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
        A7A7    D7D7
All merry, all happy and bright
   G+G    G7G7      C majorC        G+G
By 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door
    E minorEm      A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G+G    C majorC    G+G
Weep no more my lady,
  C majorC       G+G
oh weep no more today.
         G7G7      C majorC      G+G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
    E minorEm      A7A7  D7D7  G+G
for the old Kentucky home far away.
   G+G    G7G7      C majorC       G+G
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,
        A7A7      D7D7
On meadow, the hill and the shore,
   G+G    G7G7     C majorC       G+G
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
    E minorEm      D MajorD  D7D7  G+G
On the bench by that old cabin door.
       G7G7    C majorC        G+G
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
         A7A7    D7D7
With sorrow where all was delight.
  G+G    G7G7      C majorC        G+G
The time has come when the darkies have to part,
    E minorEm      A7A7  D7D7  G+G
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G+G    C majorC    G+G
Weep no more my lady,
  C majorC       G+G
oh weep no more today.
         G7G7      C majorC      G+G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
    E minorEm      A7A7  D7D7  G+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 augmentedA few more days and the trouble will end,
In the field where sugar-canes may grow.
A augmentedA few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light.
A augmentedA few more days till we totter on the road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
G+G    C majorC    G+G
Weep no more my lady,
  C majorC       G+G
oh weep no more today.
         G7G7      C majorC      G+G
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
    E minorEm      A7A7  D7D7  G+G
for the old Kentucky home far away.
