Intro:
D D/F#
Verse 1:
D
Turpentine and dandelion wine,
D/F# G
I've turned the corner, an' I'm doin' fine.
G D
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line;
A D
Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine.
G D
Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head,
A D
Going higher and higher 'til I'm dead.
Verse 2:
D
Sister Sue is short and stout,
D/F# G
She didn't grow up, she grew out.
G D
Momma says she's plain, but she's just being kind.
A D
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind.
G D
Don't let her out much except at night.
A D
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right.
Chorus:
D D/F# G D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
A
Young folks roll on the floor.
D D/F# G D
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.
A D
Keep them hard times away from my door.
Verse 3:
D
Brother Gene is big and mean,
D/F# G
And he don't have much to say.
G D
He had a little woman who he whooped each day,
A D
But now she's gone away.
G D
Got drunk last night, kicked momma down the stairs,
A D
But I'm all right, so I don't care.
