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.
