Old Kentucky Shore chords by Ricky Skaggs

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 2nd
CAPO 2

(Acapella)
Up along the Ohio River
Over on the old Kentucky shore
     G                  D
Once dwelt a fair young maiden
              D        A      D     D
Now there's a crepe up-on her door
  D                D
I walk down to the graveyard
     G      C         D
Down by the Church of God
  G         C      D
I looked up-on the one I love
           D       A            D
That would soon be covered with sod

Chorus:
    D
Up along the Ohio River
     G                   D
Over on the old Kentucky shore
     G       C          D
Once dwelt a fair young maiden
              D        A      D
Now there's a crepe up-on her door

Verse:
    D              D
The angels took my darlin'
    G          C     D
God needed the one I love
  G           C            A         D
I reached the old Kentucky shore too late
             D         A           D
I'll make my plans and meet her up above

    D
The last words that my darling spoke
G  C D
Was tell the one I love goodbye
    G       C       A        D
I'd like to see him before I go
         D        A      D
But I'll meet him in the sky

Chorus:
    D
Up along the Ohio River
     G                   D
Over on the old Kentucky shore
     G       C          D
Once dwelt a fair young maiden
              D        A      D
Now there's a crepe up-on her door

Outro:
D  A  D or acapella
Now there's a crepe up-on her door
