[INTRO]
| A | % | % | % |
[VERSE]
A
Turpentine and dandelion wine
A7 D
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
D A
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
E A
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
D A
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
E A
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
[VERSE]
A
Sister Sue she's short and stout
A7 D
She didn't grow up, she grew out
D A
Mama thinks she's plain, but she's just being kind
E A
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
D A
We don't let her out much except at night
E A
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
[CHORUS]
A D A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E
And the young folks roll on the floor
A D A
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E A
Keep them hard times away from my door
[VERSE]
A
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
A7 D
And he don't have much to say
D A
Got a little woman who he whooped each day
E A
But now she's gone away
D A
Got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs
E A
But I'm all right, so I don't care
[CHORUS]
A D A
O-ho, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E
And the young folks roll on the floor
A D A
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
A E A
Keep them hard times away from my door
[VERSE]
A
Turpentine and dandelion wine
A7 D
I've turned the corner, I'm doin' fine
D A
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
E A
Pickin' them off with this gun o' mine
D A
I got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
E A
Growing higher and higher 'till I'm dead
